Sobre a minha bibliotecaAbout 2500 books; half fiction (classics, literary fiction, poetry, travel writing, 'hard' science fiction) and half non fiction (strong on history. Also philosphy, political theory, some sociology, mythology, current events, economics, marxism,popular science.) Currently cataloguing slowly; I started with the books I am using for my thesis, and also books I am currently reading (which I own), or have recently purchased, or books triggered by the recommendations that I own. Now I am working through my collection, one shelf at a time. Note: that I own - I am only cataloguing books I physically own. I also intend to start adding reviews as I read books. One day I will catch up with the backlog! The nyr tag is 'not yet read!'

Haven't updated or added much for a year, but looking forward to making more progress again.

Thank you for the thoughtful summary, Cedric. I am especially interested in cross-cultural contacts and influences, though with greater emphasis on earlier periods. Still, it sounds like First Globalization may be worth a look.

Best wishes!
Is First Globalization: The Eurasian Exchange, 1500-1800 good?

How 'bout Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World?

What does your tag "nyr" mean?
Hi cedric -- I am honored to be added to your Interesting Libraries list! Even though I see that I inadvertently and embarrassingly invited you to the wrong group!! I meant to invite you to History at 30,000 feet -- I'm glad you found your way there anyway!

(You must have been puzzled by my comment "Our shared books suggest you might enjoy this new group..." The shared list much more strongly supports the 30,000 group, I'm sure you'll agree...
Hi Cedric,
My favourite Leigh Fermor book is “Mani”, but maybe that’s because I was there twice. I do hope that he will succeed in writing the volume 3 of his travels through Europe. It must be such an effort for him. The Hague is surely no Leigh Fermor country as you have noticed, but it has its Koninklijke Bibliotheek, a great library. Since you read some Dutch and your wife is from Hagean descent you might be interested in a Dutch journalist’s website on contemporary Greece (“The other Greece” http://andergriekenland.web-log.nl/mijn_... )
Thanks for the interesting libraries add. I'm amazed with both your intellectual and political energy!
Yes that Phil. I told him about the reading group and he said he might be up for it as long as he did n't have to read Multitude again!!
Thanks for the pointers Cedric. I will order a copy of the Ben Fine and Alfred Saad-Filho work when I next splurge on books. I might not be able to attend the reading group next year if its during work hours but I would n't mind the reading list as a guide.

Phil is starting a history PHd at UWA next year- he was doing preliminary work last semester. He is a comrade and I think he knows you from the union. I'll be in touch about the reading list....
Hi Cedric. I guess the Australian tags gave me away though I could have been in Perth, Scotland!

I have n't read Klein's new work yet and am only aware of her argument through a few reviews however I do intend having a read soon. I also have n't had the opprortunity to look through your library in depth but was impressed that Luxemburg's Accumulation of Capital was first off the rank!

As a Phd student and academic can you recommend a good entry point or primer into Marx's work. I have read the manifesto (many times) and am familiar with his ideas through secondary sources but have never 'studied' the subject(possibly a weakness of my activism.) I would also be interested to know the subject of your thesis. By the way do you know Phil from Perth? (enrolled as a Phd history student) Take care and I hope that you and your family enjoy the xmas break.

P.S. I just discovered 12 more boxes of books at my friend's house-looking forward to cataloguing them soon!!
i am not a real post grad student yet- i adid a degree in modern history years ago and now that i am doing ancient history i have just completed an under grad course and have honours next year. what are you studying?
Hi Cedric, thanks for stopping by! I'm amazed that you stumbled upon my library - and that we're both in Perth :) I like the 8 books that we share (to date) and look forward to seeing more of your library!
