My books

I've been tagged by both John Moser and Arnold Kling, here are my answers to the book questions:

1. How many books I own: I have a large pile of paperbacks to take on plane trips.  I own classics such as Leibniz and George Eliot.  Plus a small number of economics books -- accidents rather than choices -- for reference.  The major Haitian art catalogs.  Reference books on film and music.  Many cookbooks.  My own books.
