My personal philosophy: MYOB.
Acerca de mi bibliotecaMy library is best described by a Feynman diagram: it is surrounded by a cloud of virtual books. Some are tagged 'borrowed from library' or 'get this'. Some have been annihilated: they are tagged 'deaccessioned' or 'discarded'. Some are bosons: they are tagged 'dup'. Also see those tagged 'moochable' or 'for sale on half.com'.
"A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up reading them". -- Lemony Snicket, The Ersatz Elevator
"But my true glory lies within my books: printed or anciently written, bound or unbound, there are near four thousand of them. ... But I need not tell you that there are also marvels within my books -- among them wonderful and rare works by Zoroaster, Orpheus, and Hermes Trismegistus, as well as the sheets of old ephemerides. ... These are not to be found for money at any market or in any stationer's shop, since in truth they are works for secret study." -- Peter Ackroyd, The House of Doctor Dee
"In Chymicis versanti Natura, Ratio, Experientia et lectio, sint Dux, scipio, perspicilia et lampas." -- Michael Maier, Atalanta Fugiens Fuga XLII
