What's On The Bookshelf? - VIII

We have reached our final installation of the What's On The Bookshelf? series.

At least until I generate enough new books to fill another shelf. My guess is that I will move on to regaling you with tales of books of my childhood, which I scarily still have in a nice box stashed with all the other renovation boxes.

Either that or the next shelf or two may be filled with multiple Dr Seuss stories, and then what would you think of my literary taste? I guess we'll wait and see if I can come up with a more interesting series than archaic kids books from the 1970s. Suggestions always welcome.

And there ends the remaining shelves.
No, I didn't sneak the kids books in as a taste-test, they just happen to be a few loose books that have lived on the top shelf for a great while now.
Many of the fiction books on this shelf reflects Mr OhWailyWaily's taste and came with his library of books.

Final thoughts on my library?

• Once I like an author, I really like an author.


• I like fantasy, science fiction, and crime/mystery as genre preferences.


• I have kept old textbooks.


• I like to read up on business thought. (Go figure - see what I do for a living here.)


• I like to read up on Buddhism, Taoism and the odd bit of Wicca for variety. (Given some more time I will work my way through the other major world religions and/or philosophies.)

And just for the record my current favourite fiction authors, in case it hasn't been obvious, are:

• Jane Austen


• Terry Pratchett


• Isaac Asimov (this probably wasn't obvious, as I only own a book or two)
