My Library

Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.

These are all the books in my personal library, excluding e-books. My formal education is technical: I have a B.S. in aerospace engineering, focused in astronautics, and my thesis was on stability & control theory. I found that subject fascinating, and still do, but I’m also trying my best to obtain a well-rounded education in the liberal arts - the classical artes liberales, that is, not modern grievance studies. I’m doing well so far; I have at least a few books from every major division of the Dewey Decimal System.

I’ve organized my books by the DDS; you can use the links below to jump to a particular class. In time, I may hyperlink some of these books when I decide to do reviews or simply mention them in my writing.
