Stand by for pictures...
As hinted at in the previous entry, I thought I might try a post that examined a few entries from my personal library as I restocked the shelves.
Those are mostly classics and family heirlooms. I like the way they look, so I started populating the new shelves with those first.
These are modern works that I have read recently.
There are still many volumes stacked in various places around the house, so the few I've selected here are just some I've come across so far. Lets start with Gothic novels. I have a thing for gothic and I've got a copy of just about everything Edgar Allan Poe ever wrote. I blame my dark teenage years. There's also Frankenstein and Dracula there of course and Castle of Otranto, and Vathek. Oddly, I'm actually reading Vathek on Kindle at the moment. I had no idea I'd got a paper copy until I fell over it tonight.
I also have a small collection of graphic novels and comic books. Not sure if comic books count as books as such.
I've lost my graphic novel version of Dracula, but I hope to fall over that soon. I did come across my original copy of Alan Moore's classic Klling Joke.
Today I received two Harley Quinn comic books in the mail from Reed comics. That's one very cool comic book shop. I particularly like the Hulk envelope you see here.
Moving on, here we see my collection of scary maths, psychology, and engineering books from my university years. There are some missing. Lets not dwell on that anyway.
I don't have a copy of "Double Threaded Wing Nuts through History" as suggested by Mr Punk, but I do have a few oddities.
And finally, some rare and interesting picks. No library is complete without a copy of Origin of the Species.
I have a copy of Flim-Flam, the definitive skeptic's bible.
and it's signed by the man himself.
I do have a singed copy of a Patrick Moore astronomy book somewhere, but I haven't found that yet.
And a very old copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
That might even be worth something. It has lovely pictures inside.
