I don't have a real bookshelf or anything, but here's what's left after the last round of book donations. Sadly all my non-fiction is packed away (minus God No, which was a gift I haven't read yet).

That's not your book shelf. You'd never own that kind of water.

^ I think Tolkien is the only name I recognize there, DWV! But I'm guessing the other books are mainly fantasy too. BTW, I used to have exactly the same DIY shelving system in the closet of my previous bedroom. I also like the little teaser in your photo; we can just see the clothes hangers, but not the clothes!

^ Can't make out many titles, Mindfulness, but they seem to be pretty eclectic: Gnostic Bible, Our Universe, Ayn Rand, Basic Electronics, Dan Brown. The topics, like the books, seem to be all over the place ;). You have the untidiest bookcase so far and you seem to be pursuing some arcane alchemical research in your spare time. So kudos on both counts :thumb:

Sontag is difficult, but Wallace is all over the place. Many of his essays, like the one titled "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" (in which he goes on a cruise for Harper Magazine and writes about the experience), are light enough and downright funny. He can write both as an academic and as more of a journalist. He's also written several books of fiction, but I've read none of them yet.

I watch plenty of movies and my comics are fiction too, so I don't actually understand why I so strongly prefer non-fiction when it comes to books. So did your dad also not enjoy movies? ... Or comics? :laughing:

That Sandman omnibus is giving me a boner.

Cards Against Humanity is the Greatest. Game. Ever. Linda, Sherri, Scott, Mike, and I, played for hours last Xmas eve and we were all pissing ourselves.

You don't know Neil Gaiman? He's pretty popular right now.Actually the majority of that shelf is fairy tale stuff. The Fables comic series is a fairy tale retelling of all the classic characters living in disguise in the city, and the 5 books Cinder-Winter, is a scifi young adult series retelling the stories of a Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and a couple others.


OMG, clean yo damn bookshelf. Also, that's blasphemy, you're a fraud. :D

The Last Humans was okay. Young adult dystopian scifi. I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but I had fun reading it. I really like where the story started, but it quickly became predictable. Lots of filler "action" scenes that I didn't really liked compared to the politics.

Have you ever read Orson Scott Card's Enchantment? A modernized version of Sleeping Beauty but oddly tongue-in-cheek and charming about it.

No! Ive never heard of that one but ill def look into it. Sounds like something id really enjoy.
