Possessions
This page is an outgrowth of my gift list,
which used to be much longer.
It lists works of literature and art of which I already possess a copy,
so that there's little point in giving me a new one.
(Of course, there's not much point anyway
in giving me a copy of something normally overpriced
that I can probably find in a library or online,
but sometimes people like to give gifts.)
The list is by no means exhaustive,
although it should be exhaustive
within the name of each author or artist.
