Om mig I'm interested in a little of everything. I will begin full-time studies in Fall 2008 for a Masters in Library Science. My undergraduate degree was in chemistry, and that's how I've made most of my lifetime earnings, but most of my reading for pleasure has been in psychology and philosophy. I recently had surgery for alternating strabismus; nothing will underscore the importance of perspective/point of view like eye surgery...let me tell you! I value both science and art, thinking and feeling, and my library reflects that. I believe in the maxim that one should become what one is, and that books are just one way to nourish that growth of self-potential.
Om mitt bibliotek It's mostly nonfiction, with significant collections in philosophy and psychology. You'll find tidbits of everything from African literature to Instrumental Analysis represented here, however. My book habit has been limited by budget, so the collection is significant but not huge. Only books in my possession are listed, not books read or books wanted. I am slowly adding reviews, although for a lot of books it's been so long since they were read that I don't feel it fair to write one.
A side note: I will use the friend feature specifically to keep up with folks I know outside of LT. I have no issue with someone listing my library as interesting; I don't feel stalked. :) I don't think I'll have time to keep up with other "interesting libraries," though, so I probably won't form a list of those. There have been libraries I've found interesting here and visited more than once; I'm just not going to make a list and then feel bad for not keeping up. This is no way reflects negatively on anyone.

I read your post on the PoS group. I'm a cognitive psychologist by trade but my interests center more in philosophy and literature. Anyhow, you may consider [The Mind's I] by [[Douglas Hofstader]] and [[Daniel Dennett]] - an interesting edited work. I would have other recommendations, especially if the aspects of psychology you are interested in tends to cognitive and not clinical.

I just ordered The Conative Connection which is about the Kolbe A. My husband's company just had some people take it, hence my curiosity was peaked. Are you familiar with this test and its validity?
