What is in your book collection?

Wow, that's an impressive list! I don't have a list and I share a library with my husband. All the books are in sections though and I'm at work. Offhand I can think of a lot by the author while forgetting the name (sorry).

Movie making (many I can't think of) Lynch on Lynch, Scorcese on Scorcese, Hollywood Rat Race and Death of a Transvestite by Ed Wood, Crackpot and Shock Value by John Waters, Hollywood Babylon and Hollywood Babylon II both by the amazing Kenneth Anger.

On writing - Zen and the Art of Writing, Writing Great Books for Young Adults, Bobbed Hair and Bathtub Gin; Writers Running Wild in the 20s, many more I can't think of.

A book on the Mayans, several on the unrecorded life of Jesus, the Baghvad Gita, Dreams of Confucious, Dead Sea Scrolls, Celestine Prophecy and the Tao of Pooh, Drawing Down the Moon, The Circle Within, Chakras for Beginners, Reiki for Beginners.

Horror books - Salem's Lot, It, Dolores Claiborne and The Shining, a few by Mary Higgens Clark, Poe's classics, a collection of cival war ghost stories. I also have Jennifer McMahon's books, Island of Lost Girls, Promise Not to Tell and Dismantled here. Great stuff. A few books by Anne Perry.

Typing out my list would be a lot of work, but if your curious you should join goodreads.com and add me as a contact (Nick G).

You can list all the books you own, see their covers, write reviews and rate them, and see what others had to say and rate as well.

I have over 600 books, and my collection is still growing! (I've read them all, thank you very much)

Still wanna know what I have in my book collection? :)
