I don't think of myself as well-read, but I do think of my books as a collection. Mostly because of my buying habits (and because I've only read a third of what I own), which end up averaging about a book a day purchased since I started on it. Stuff added since the picture:

> Hrafnkel's Saga and Other Icelandic Stories
>The Abortion by Richard Brautigan
>Dictionary of the Khazars by Milorad Pavic
>The Wine of Astonishment by Earl Lovelace
>In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway
>The Guide by R. K. Narayan
>The Journey of Ibn Fattouma by Naguib Mahfouz
>Soulstorm by Clarice Lispector
>Partings at Dawn: An Anthology of Japanese Gay Literature
>The Assault by Harry Mulisch
>Six Yuan Plays
>Tevye the Dairyman and Motl the Cantor's Son by Sholem Aleichem

Oh man, that would basically be my entire personal library. Minus a handful that I mostly keep in the closet now (embarrassing cozy mysteries and shit). I really only got into reading after I started visiting /lit/ back in early 2010.

So, all of these. Except Alas, Babylon and The Hobbit and the ones you can't see the spine of.

Took some new pictures of mine, since I bought a lot of books recently. I haven't felt like sorting them into the actual shelves yet, as I'd have to look up all the authors' birth years. So they're just stuck in horizontally for now.
