My Library :)
I was rearranging my "library" in my apartment, so I went ahead and gathered some fun facts for you.
Currently I am living in a one bedroom apartment. I have been here 5 months and I plan on moving in August, so lugging around a lot of books is a BIG pain. Thus, some have been left at home with my parents.
However, I have somehow accumulated:
136 Books (if we use an averaged cost of $12- which I imagine is far too low- then I've spent $1,632 on books in the last 2 1/2 years.)
9 books on Politics or International Relations
27 books related to religion
- 8 Novels
- 5 "general religion"
- 8 Atheism/Agnosticism/Skepticism
- 3 on Islam
- 3 on Christianity
11 books on Political Philosophy/General Philosophy
- 1 Montesquieu
- 1 Vitoria
- 2 Kant
- 2 Hobbes
- 1 Rousseau
- 1 Locke
- 1 Machiavelli
- 1 Nietzsche
- 1 Thucydides
9 books on History (That I didn't count in Politics)
- 4 of which are Historical Fiction
8 Tom Robbins Books
13 books that I consider Classics
- 4 that were stolen from my high school
34 Hardback books
49 books that I haven't read
- 36% isn't that bad
- most of these are worthless novels that were bought on Sale
14 books that I'll probably never read
- again, worthless novels
25 books written by Women Authors
- 4 of those that fall into the "I'll probably Never Read" section
- 5 that I liked
(This disturbs me)
and 1 children's book (my favorite growing up)
What can you tell about a person from their bookshelf? :)

I think you can tell alot about a person from their bookshelf. I think reading is the most under rated thing that people 'dont' do. In school they make us read so by the time we get out we dont like it but i think that if you can find something that interests you and can open you up to learn something new than there is nothing better than reading. Beats the shit out of wasteing away infront of the T.V. =) You got some nice stuff on your shelf there. Why dont you mail me something good to read??? ha
