Books I Plan to Finish Someday...

"The best laid plans of mice and men.........are about equal."

[These are now sorted into a list of abbreviations that I use in the CTT writings...hope it helps. I have also begun filing previous years books in their own file--to shorten file access times. I have all of 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, and most of 1995 books.

New acquisitions...(and old "I brought them in from the garage" ones!)...

Also, note that these books are NOT uniformly cited in the technically-correct fashion, but only to the extent needed to identify/find them yourself.
