Throughout most of my life, I have been afflicted with the terrible condition of being unable to leave a bookstore (usually Chapters or Indigo) without carrying at least three or four items (plus the usual coffee) that I did not have with me when I entered, or to spend at least half of the money in my pocket (whichever is higher). As such, I have accumulated a large sum of books on military history throughout my life, most of which are now located on one of my three bookshelves or my bedroom floor.

Universities

edit

While attending university, I have access to several large-scale university libraries. Because my father is on the faculty of both universities in my hometown, I also have unlimited access to the post-secondary libraries in Calgary.
