📚 My bookshelf (physical and digital)

I read a gemlog of a person who listed their books and they said pretty much what I feel, that you can tell a lot about a person by the books on their bookshelf.

So, I have read a LOT of books over my 60 years. To list them all would be utterly impossible. However, I have a pretty good collection of them on my Goodreads page (558 books I think) and will slowly start to document them all here.
