What's on your bookshelf?

There's nothing like a good book. Well, sort of. In my home office there's 3 bookcases packed full of Military-History books; spare room there's 1 bookcase packed full of world Philosophy-Religion books and 1 bookcase packed full of Music Theory, Guitar Techniques and Songbooks. Yup, I've read 95% of them. Don't ask me anything else as that's all I know in life. What's on your bookshelves?

-Self-Help books?

-Trade books?

-Science-Nature books?

-Accounting or other professional books?

-Adult magazines?

-I don't read. I'm illiterate.

-You don't want to know!

-Don't ask. None of your biz.

-Other?

I have to start unloading some of this junk-I finally realized it's ridiculous to keep this much.

I have "The Odds" as well. Good book. Although, I was betting sports for about 20 years before it came out.

I heard that "Stuff White People Like" is pretty funny.

Other than "The Odds," I have all the past Phil Steele college football books, all the past Saints media guides, tons of SEC and Mountain West football media guides, past Senior Bowl draft info books, sports almanacs, baseball record books, sports official rule books, and sports trivia books. I have biographies of Brett Favre, Mark Messier, Vince Lombardi, and profiles of the 86 Mets and USM.

My recreational reading is mostly theoretical physics and other science. Paul Davies is my favorite author. I have About Time, Mind of God, The Fifth Miracle, and Goldilocks Enigma, among others. I always enjoy Mary Roach's books, and have them all. I also dig books about evolution, secularism, and egyptology. Plus, I have several books about medical mistakes.
