What books are on your shelf?

[Dreadylocks]

I provided links where possible.

What's with the referral links?

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like that's bad form.

Are you a saxophonist?

Just started reading Sebastian Faulks' A Week In December… nice change from political theory books and journal articles. As a paid-up member of the Facebook generation I can't say the Kindle et al are very appealing - I like having books, lending them to other people, reading them in humid, dusty and slightly dodgy places, and the way they never run out of battery power is amazing.

Or an ARTHUR Fan?

Thanks.

Yes, that's precisely why I added this last year.

My shelves are currently very bare. I lost over 800 books in "The Great Studio Flood of April '07". Lots of sci-fi with healthy doses of the classics, music & audio technical books, religion, philosophy, the sciences, etc. I also lost over 1,000 LPs and 25 years of touring recordings and memorabilia, not to mention the $100k in damages to my studio.

There were four more sets of shelves to the left of the two in the picture. Yeah, the books stayed on the shelves, but they'd soaked in sewage for 12+ hours and were unsalvageable.

I am really sorry to hear that.

I haven't gotten around to finish reading it yet. Go figure. I keep picking up the book next to it instead when I should be picking up my laptop and writing.

What about human flesh? Did you ever get yourself a Necronomicon?

I seem to remember an illustrated series of books, called The Cowboys, that was bound in leather.

Well, I wish there were a face-to-face story to go with it. It's my dream to meet every one of them and pick their brains.

I found it in a specialty memorabilia store in Toronto, Canada. Had it museum quality framed when I got it back to the States. Definitely my pride and joy. I've never seen a photo with all four of them together let alone one with all of their autographs. And it's authenticated. I was shocked and elated when I saw it.

Mike, that Necronomicon is AWESOME!!
