I have plenty of shelves but no book shelf.
What’s on Your Bookshelf?

I'm all over the place with novels, biographies, reference and manuals. Quite a few years ago a big used bookstore was going out of business and at the end were giving away books to clear the store. Pickup loads came home with me.

Reference? I use digital media. Books are to escape the insanity. While I've read digital books, it's just not the same as a book, a cocktail and a wood fire.

Most of ours is novels. I often get an author and read a lot of his books. Years ago I read C.S. Forester, and I’ve read some of his books again lately, The African Queen, The Ship, The Good Shepherd. I read a lot of Lee Child Reacher books and I like C.J. Box books also.

DVDs and CDs. Yes I'm almost as old as the guys with books.

I did not include books that came with my current home… some very interesting titles but little time to read so far…
Many are what I would call commentaries on the world today plus some books on electric theory and such… the shop bathroom has a full bookshelf left behind but I’m not so disposed to sit and read on the throne as it were…

Weber is my favorite too. I've re-read all the Honor Harrington and Honorverse novels a couple of times. Also read the Safehold series.
Presently reading Out Of The Darkness. Pretty good so far.
A couple of years ago I donated nine banker's boxes full of classic sci-fi books to a local used book store.

Sort of like flyerdan.
Wife and I were big into books, house we bought in Mississippi had a room (converted from a garage). I scored a truckload of quality library shelving that about fills the room.
