This page is something in between a list of books I've read, a per-topic reading list and a catalogue of my personal library. All books listed here are in the set
read
∪
owned.
It is more or less organised in categories and sub-categories. I have very little knowledge and no training in any of the fields they cover. I'm just listing books I've read in an order that makes sense (to me, at least). Categories are more or less ordered according to the corresponding letter of the LCC. Book titles are written as on the books I own. Languages may vary greatly.
Philosophy
I chose to arrange this section chronologically whilst retaining the order in which the books should be read. This off course doesn't apply to encyclopediae, which are placed at the end.
