Okay, so I stole this idea from Nellie over at A Bit of Gardening Spirit... Posting (most/some of) the books on my bookshelf.
Actually, to pare it down a bit, I'm going to stick to my fiction books and save my reference/music/new agey books for another day. And I'm also posting series by their series titles and the book numbers that I have.
Books 2-13 and prequel of the Wheel of Time Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson (I lost my book 1, sooo mad!)
Mistborn Trilogy (complete) Brandon Sanderson
Warbreaker Brandon Sanderson
Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson (First of a series)
Books 1-4 of Runelords David Farland (I think there are more in this series)
Onion Girl Charles de Lint
Life of Pi Yann Martel
The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You Dorothy Bryant
Freak the Mighty Rodman Philbrik
About a Boy Nick Hornby
True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle Avi
Phantom Tollbooth Norton Juster
1984 George Orwell
Walk Two Moons Sharon Creech
Maniac Magee Jerry Spinelli
The Birth House Amy McKay
She's Come Undone Wally Lamb
I Know This Much is True Wally Lamb
Enchanted Forest Chronicles (complete) Patricia C. Wrede
Earth's Children, Books 1 & 2 Jean Auel (I've been trying to find the other three used, and the sixth one is supposed to come out this year!!!)
Dies the Fire S.M. Stirling (This is the first of a series)
Alas, Babylon Pat Frank (One of my top two favorite books)
Watership Down Richard Adams (The other half of my top two favorite books)
Brave New World Aldous Huxley
Garden Spells Sarah Addison Ellen
Among these are some others that I haven't gotten around to reading yet. As you can tell (if you're up to date on children's literature) I have a fondness for books that I read and loved as a kid. (Which reminds me, The Giver should be on my bookshelf, but it's at my parents' house right now, bah!) The ones that I still have are also ones that I've read and loved as an adult. I also have a soft spot for epic fantasy (14 books of Wheel of Time? Yes, please!) and survival books.
What are you reading?
I never did get around to reading the wheel of time - my library only ever has book 2 :(
