This is an amazing thread, thank you lil. I found a better-focused image of my stack of books, partly obscured by the lemon tree which is no more. It was just chance that I had Hubski's favorite book in the top-left position. I am most proud of the volume I printed and bound myself, unable to find a a copy to buy (this was 1998, a few months after Amazon's IPO, but Project Gutenberg had been going strong for years). I have it on the authority of an e-Vox that cW is considering adding photos of his stupendous library, but he might need to be assured that there is no requirement that one have read every book depicted. Surely this is a window into one's inner world, or as close as one can get without rifling papers or opening journals. I have often seized an opportunity to scan book titles while a host's back is turned, ardent curiosity overcoming reluctance to pry.
