Writer's Block: Open book test

[Error: unknown template qotd]

That I have multiple personality disorder?

From where I'm sitting I can see a bible, a Koran, several mythology books, the entire run of Harry Potter books, many old school/well known scifi authors (H.G. Wells, Verne, Heinlein, Brin, Brust, Harry Harrison, Mike Resnick, Pratchett, Burroughs, Douglass Adams, etc), mystery authors (Braun, Penman, Millet, etc), many "classics" of one sort or another- Dracula, Frankenstein, All Quiet on the Western Front, To Kill a Mockingbird, Macbeth, The Prince, The Republic, Don Quixote- also the Sharpe's series by Cornwall, Norton Anthologies, several Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert and FoxTrot cartoons and Marvel Masterworks comics. Oh and cookbooks and craft books. And a bunch of random other things. There's no particular order, although I like to think the Bible being next to 'The Double Helix' was done on purpose.

I don't have as many as that within view as the room with the computer is not the room with the books but from here I can see a book on Chinese proverbs, an Irish dictionary, the Klingon dictionary, 2 books of names, The Dresden Files, my Torchwood and Doctor Who novels and magazines, Ace - the inside story of the end of an era by Sophie Aldred and Mike Tucker, The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy and scripts from Doctor Who, Firefly and Star Trek. This is my fannish room. *g*

I don't think I have as varied a collection as you but I have a ridiculous number of books on mythology and ancient history as well as maps and atlases - both for fantasy worlds and the earth.

Those kind of collections are the best!

I was on my laptop not desktop, so the bookshelves are the ones in the main room. The desktop is in the computer room where all our junk paperbacks are- tons of books we got in clearance bins and brought to college way back when, etc. And boxes and boxes of comic books.
