From your link:

  For purposes of this paragraph, arson of property does
  not include one burning or causing to be burned his or
  her own personal property unless there is an intent to
  defraud or there is injury to another person or another
  person’s structure, forest land, or property.

Thank you - I agree it turns on mens rea. Burning one's own property can be criminal arson, depending on intent or result.

Just as you'd expect. Whether the property in question are books you own, or a shed, or your entire house it's your property and it's not a crime to turn your property into a bonfire so long as doing so doesn't break other criminal laws.
