[IAEP] Library Activity

[Edward Cherlin]

Here is a screenshot from Goodreads.com of the beginning of my
Economics collection. I have to go around the house and find the rest,
put them on a physical shelf together (I recently added three new
bookcases), and add them to my list. People occasionally ask me where
to get a particular book, or comment when I list one of their
favorites.
