⌈/Library/Books⌋

Below is an inexhaustive list of books I own. Please note my ownership of a book is not necessarily an endorsement of its ideas, especially with regards to religion and philosophy. Also note that I nearly exclusively buy books second-hand from op shops and book exchanges. Specific topics of interest that I actively seek out books about include mathematics, physics, informatics, Christian theology, classic literature, science fiction, and cyberculture.
