What does your book collection say about you? This is my small office library. What’s in your collection?

My book collection consists of either textbooks on various engineering disciplines (mainly software and electrical), physics, or chemistry. Additionally I have several philosophical works I need to start reading. I think I also have a few analysis texts which is pure math: don’t know if I’m particularly driven to crack them open to be honest. I’m more so tempted to crack open my Quantum computing text and have a go at that since it was the hardest thing for me to understand in my undergrad.

It's time for me to clean out my storage unit. Too many lost souls trapped there.

In down sizing my life, I donated most of my books to the library, Goodwill, and friends. I have reference books. Mostly wildlife identification of birds, plants, wild flowers, mammels insects, butterflies. That kind of thing. & some children's books that have great illistrations. Grimm's Fairy Tales, Uncle Remus. Dictionaries, language dictionaries ie Spanish/English. H.P. Lovecraft paper backs.

I can't imagine what mine says. I have 2 bookcases that are crammed, and piles of books in front of them. I have my medical/nursing/midwifery/breast feeding books. I have all my feminist/philosophy/spirituality books. I have several dystopian books, survival books, herbal medicine and edible weed books. I have nearly every book that Stephen King has written, every one of the Charlie Parker series, all the Repairman Jack and Jack Reacher books. I have many classics, my favorite books by various authors. I still have some of my favorite kids books. Most about horses or dogs. I have a lot of thriller, mystery, and a couple of books that are light and funny. I don't know what that says about me. When I look at my list, it looks rather eclectic, and a little dark, which may be accurate. I'm not really sure. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

I like your books!!! Sounds like my home library!

I still love books! Mine are primarily the sciences, but abundant in other "philosophies"...
I love reading Hitchens...face it, the man was gifted and articulate! Dawkins, Harris, Randi and Stenger. Mostly anti religion, oh, and 2 buy bulls...?

At one time I had a personal collection of over 2.000 books. One section included my professional books, research-based books on teaching, learning, school excellence, effective teaching, educational philosophy and sociology, etc. I also had a large collection on organizational excellence and leadership. My holdings on history and on government and politics was large,including a section on political ideologies. Mu fiction holdings had a wide range -- Mailer, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Hermann Hesse, Mark Twain, Russian authors, John La Carre, and many more.It said that I was (1)interested in excellence in school, organizational and personal performance, (2) driven to understand "why", and (3)an iconoclast. .

You have an interest in law, am I right. My bookshelf has a combination to textbooks on science and education. My fiction section mostly has 19th Century french literature (in English unfortunately), early 20th Century Spanish lit. (Some in translation and some not).

That I'm a fraud and haven't read all those books?

Lol

I have every Halo book. Guess I like Halo?

The manual of everything I buy that brings a manual.

I am pretty lame. My book collection is mostly instruction manuals for my appliances and tools along with "Sex Lives of Cannibals" by Randy Troost who wrote the perfect description of the monetary system used by many of the Pacific Islands. I have the sequel as well. All of the rest of my reading does not kill trees.

mine says ... so many nooks...such a short life lol I think i have about 800 in my TBR office lol

My book collection says that I am kind of a dry person, but it's better than having a collection full of complete deception lmao your collection is a bunch of poorly cited and subjective deception, meant to produce votes and feed the political business machine of a government that has no solutions.
