Library

This is a catalogue of my personal library. Recommendations of translators evaluate: majority text types, i.e non-critical, & archaic language, which is less demeaned. Considered also, of course, is character.

My use of Wade-Giles is not an endorsement of Taiwanese independence, but, rather, follows the traditional spelling of Chinese names in English.
