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…

Hobby books from Beekeeping, carpentry, orchard tending, gardening, welding, metal working, how to language books, and a splattering of history, business books.

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.
