Hmmmm, from where I am sitting on my couch, I can see the entire works of Shakespeare sitting next to the entire Little House on the Prairie collection. Also the Bible sitting next to the Final Prophicies if Nostradamus, (other interpretations of the Bible scattered about the house) the Chronicals of Narnia series, several books of poetry, the Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel Maus, Beowulf, the entire Harry Potter series, the entire Xanth fantasy series along with a couple of dozen other high fantasy books, 10 books in a series called The Youth Classics (collected works of stuff like Tom Sawyer, etc.), A sprinkling of philosophy books (Seven Theories of Human Nauture, The Bonds of Womanhood, etc.), The Red Badge of Courage, King Arthur and teh Knights of the Round Table, The Secret Garden, Captains Courageous and an entire set of Encyclopedia Brittanica from 1942. That's just one bookcase. I have another just full of paperbacks. Another just full of graphic novels (I used to be a comic book artist for DC and Marvel)like Elfquest and Sandman, another just for hard back sci-fi and fantasy (including LOTR and a couple of signed Neil Gaiman books that he gave to me when I was still in "the biz"), another just of reference, how to and self sufficiency books and one more with a mish mash of biographies, childrens books, magazines and misc. books.

Yes. I'm a book hoarder. I need help. I have read them all, too. I've sold off gobs of books in years past, as well, when I'm short of cash. I think I have a disease. It's called biblioitis.
