this is the stuff I have in my room. It's stacked between my monitor and tower. Seemed like a good place for it 🙂

Yeah, pretty much all of my books fit in with that genre, though. What do you read?
 
I have about 45-50 text books. That's about it. I have a couple of "regular" books. Several straight dope books, lots of other fact books like that (Farmer's Almanac, etc), and like 10 Dragon Lance books (read 'em when I was in high-school). That's about it 🙁

Wish I could take a picture (don't feel like getting up). Have an entire bookcase and closet floor covered in textbooks/notebooks.
 
some chem books, my electrical books, um, HS year books, satanic bible..thats about it...i dont read much

 
I've got a load of engineering text books and then a small collection of Sci-Fi/Fantasy which is all the recreational reading I do...

Reading that makes me realize that I should definately try to broaden my horizons...haha...😱
 
MCSE Course guides (2k edition)
Some O'Reilly JAVA books, a PHP book or two, MySQL book, Oracle 8i book, C++ book, hmmm, what else, some Stephen King books (can't go wrong) a book of quotes, that my ex got me because I collect Quotes, and....damn, thats about it....
 
I have a bunch of books back at my parents place, but in my dorm room I have:

Stephen King - The Stand
Robert Jordan - The Entire Wheel Of Time Series
Frank Herbert - Dune
Ray Bradbury - The Illustrated Man
Robert A. Heinlein - Time Enough For Love
J.R.R. Tolkien - The Hobbit and LOTR
Stephen Hawking - The Universe In A Nutshell

notfred-I have the same calculus book as you, weird.
Lets see, among the jumble of computer parts are:
A Java Book (Horton)
Rainbow 6 (Hardcover)
Lord of the Rings
A few paper backs stashed in odd places
Yearbook
Java course pack along with a physics course pack
Physics text book
Physics workbooks
A Chemistry book stashed in the closet
Few more paperbacks.

My bookshelf at home has probably 100-200 books ranging from educational (little kid science experiments to NASA documents), to paper back fictions (the bulk of it all), and assorted hardcover books (both fiction and non-fiction). Then there are the books in the closet. Yeah, I like books.
 
I've got a few OS-related books (Windows 2000 Server - Unleashed, Mastering Linux, etc..), a number of ip routing and network troubleshooting books, a few SF books, and some other general stuff.
 
Last time I moved I had to leave most my books at my dad's house because I didn't have any more room. I left about 800-1000 there. But that's ok, because I still have easily 500-600 at my apartment, and probably another few hundred on loan out. I have everything, computer books, texts, classics, fantasy/sci-fi, role playing, poetry, biographies, encyclopedias, etc.
 
Mainly computer books, textbooks and a couple of sci-fi novels.



Edit: Can't forget the stack of Maxim Magazines and the mini pr0n stash! 😉 😀
 
Bunch of textbooks from the early 90s. Nobody wants them. Even on half.com they wont sell for more than a few bucks -- I paid nearly $100 a pop for each one of them!
 

Couple H.P. Lovecraft books, few Stephen King's.. Nietzsche's The Anti-Christ plus some misc occult stuff.
 
I have about:

150 sci fi and fantasy paperbacks
50 sci fi and fantasy hardcovers
25 biography and memoirs
1 scientific book
1 medical book
1 dictionary

that's about it. The book I read most recently was "If Chins Could Kill" the autobiography of Bruce Campbell, pretty good read. I'm most looking forward to George R.R. Martin's next book this fall and also Harry Potter book 5.
 
Listed in order of which takes up most space, the smallest amount in top:
- Some sci-fi and fantasy books, mostly sci-fi.
- Text-books.
- Mangas (hte book-sized ones, have about 100manga in my room).
 
Biology, Microbiology, Food Processing, Food Processing Managment Simulation, Food Engineering, Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Chemistry, Visual Basic, Unix, Perl

Tons of computer related books 🙁

I hate my room!! The only leisure book that I have is Lord Of The Rings
 
I can't even guess how many books I have. Easily 1000, most likely 2. All sorts; sci-fi/fantasy, classics, biographies, educational, reference, etc. Bulk of them are fantasy, though. Hell, I haven't even gotten around to reading half of them, I'm just a book buying junkie. 😀

I have 2 big shelves. I got 1/2 filled with computer/astronomy/science magazines. 1/2 filled with computer books (VB6, ASP, .NET, Linux, etc.) and nearly one full shelf :Q filled with history books and reprints of ancient East Asian texts. There is also a section of two filled with textbooks (mostly Chem and Physics stuff).

I have more than 120 books borrowed from the library. :Q 🙂
 
I have everything from War and Peace to King to Tolkien. 😀

All I'm missing is Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Milton's Paradise Lost. 🙁
 
Here are my computer books.

I got another shelf that I haven't taken pictures of... It is full of coffee table books, magazines, and fantasy novels. BTW I just started Robert Jordans
Wheel of Time series and I have read 700 pages in 4 days! It reads as well as Tolkien!
