Akhet - The Horizon
A List of Books
In case you´re looking for a good read...
| This is a list of most of the things which reside on my bookshelf; a selection of both fairly easy literature and also of a more academic bent as well as some translations of ancient texts. In an effort to bring some order and accessibility into this, I grouped them as follows: Then each group is listed in alphabetical order by the author´s name. At the bottom is a link to a listing of some books which falls a bit outside of these categories, so it might be worth checking there too.
