In [this thread](http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/dpotf/do_you_judge_people_by_the_books_on_their_shelves/), many Redditors shared different opinions on how they do/do not judge others based on the books on their shelves. From what I gathered, most people are quite open minded and accepting of others choices in literature.
I think it’d be fun to test that.
Maybe this thread has been done before, but I think it’d be fun to see what Redditors have on their bookshelves right now, at this exact moment. No shuffling them around!
Just give us a brief run down of what you have on your favorite shelf of books. I feel like everyone has to have at least one shelf they focus their favorite stuff on. If not (or if you keep your books organized another way), than pick ten books from the whole library that you wish other people would focus on when they look through it.
A list of your books is good, though I imagine pics might be better.
I don’t mean for this to turn into either a flame war or a massive circle jerk, but I figured why just *talk* about judging other people’s bookshelves? Why not show them off, and see what judgment/discussion comes?
I’ll post mine to start things off.

I recently moved, so my shelves are disastrously unorganized, but here you go:
[One.](http://imgur.com/nahbI) [Two.](http://imgur.com/lCjhZ) [Three.](http://imgur.com/INqss) [Four.](http://imgur.com/s0dlT)
Yes, that is a copy of “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” I am not ashamed.
For further mocking: [The books I got at the library today.](http://imgur.com/Hq8n5)
I don’t really have a favourite shelf. Some time ago I started organising my shelves by size, putting all the books of one author together, keeping books in the same series together etc., but because of my reading habits that didn’t last long. I still think it’s relatively tidy, [but you can see with each shelf](http://imgur.com/0pFIT.jpg) my interest in keeping shelves organised dipped.
(My [Goodreads account](http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4225116) has a list of all the books on the shelves.)
I’m into mountaineering, travel and exploration and [here are some of the books in my collection](http://transhimalaya2007.blogspot.com/2008/02/some-of-my-books.html).
Several books detailing the films/life of Alfred Hitchcock, plenty of Toni Morrison novels, random E. E. Cummings books, everything John Waters has written that has been published, miscellaneous novels (Jonathan Safran Foer? Yes! Sprinkle in some Kurt Vonnegut, Bret Easton Ellis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Hunter S. Thompson), memoirs, film theory textbooks, and cook books that I never use. I think there’s a few Garfield comic books in there too. (NERMAL.)
I have hundreds of books, so I’ll just highlight…
I have a good amount of Latin American literature, in particular Garcia Marquez. I have a lot of Greek and Latin texts as those were my college majors. I have a few shelves of foreign language dictionaries as well. I also have about 150 mass paperback horror novels (King, Koontz, etc.) from my grandmother. I’ve only read one or two since they’re not my thing, but I can’t bring myself to part with books. In terms of what I’m ashamed of, I have Ayn Rand’s books (only read the Fountainhead) and the Da Vinci Code. There you have it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I actually took [this picture](http://imgur.com/KRZaN.jpg) to show a friend some thrift store bookends I painted, but it has all my favorite books in it, minus a couple, so it works well for this thread.
From left to right:
* Catch 22 – Joseph Heller
* Sirens of Titan – Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
* Grendel – John Gardner
* One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – Ken Kesey
* Ulysses – James Joyce
* Stardust – Neil Gaiman
* The Awakening – Kate Chopin
* Light in August – William Faulkner
* Brave New World – Aldous Huxley
* The Bone People – Keri Hulme
* Song of Solomon – Toni Morrison
* Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell – Susanna Clarke
Not pictured, but also favorites:
* Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
* Harry Potter series – JK Rowling
* The Phantom Tollbooth – Norman Juster
Here they are. Of course, there are books scattered around my apartment, but I try to keep the ones that I’m not constantly looking through/reading for school off the shelves for easy access….
[One](http://imgur.com/vC5Nr.jpg), [two](http://imgur.com/lFeVb.jpg), [three](http://imgur.com/AwRKc.jpg), [four](http://imgur.com/ffvZ5.jpg) and [4.5](http://imgur.com/aO5Y2.jpg).
I think I’ve accumulated quite a variety – sans like romance novels though.
I’m at work right now so just shooting off the top of my head
bread and wine -Ignazio silone
the giving tree -Silverstein
Royce’s sailing illustrated
honorable cat -Paul gallico
the complete brothers grimm
These United States readers digest.(copyright 1968 a very interesting read)
out of sync -lance bass(which I’v yet to finish, but want to)
lord of the rings/the hobbit
hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
one of the foxfire series
http://i.imgur.com/DS5Kv.jpg
Sans these titles currently out on loan:
* A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
* I’m a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson
* End of Faith by Sam Harris
* God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
* Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen
* Billions & Billions by Carl Sagan
* Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan
*Please disregard the bottom shelf; it’s the catch-all and soon-to-be-traded shelf. While there is some good shit down there (The Stand by Stephen King, Universe in a Nutshell by Hawking and The Big Book of Filth), it is mostly ‘eclipsed’ by my wife’s Twilight books (see what I did there?).
my library is in storage, but on my dresser i have:
the tres riches heures
the flemish primitives by de vos
the red book by jung
collected fictions by borges
the myth of the rational market
the nag hammadi library
genius by gleick
brave new world
the federalist papers
civilization and its discontents
progress and poverty
the financial expert by narayan
on the genealogy of morality
the new industrial state
the philosophy of william james
a treatise concerning the principles of human knowledge
an enquiry concerning human understanding
practical philosophy by kant
selected writings by marx
the basic political writings by rousseau
tales by lovecraft
i do read more novels/fiction than is represented, but it’s an equally highbrow selection. i probably need to lighten up a little.
Too lazy to take a picture, buuut I do have a [goodreads](http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4100007-ben-pugh?order=a&shelf=read&sort=author) that lists everything. Some I don’t actually own anymore, but most I’ve still got.
I’m at college, so this is the reduced collection that currently sits on my crates-turned-bookshelves =]
* The Complete Novels of Jane Austen
* The God Delusion – Richard Dawkins
* God Is Not Great – Christopher Hitchens
* The Poems – John Keats
* Selected Plays of Oscar Wilde
* Lady Chatterely’s Lover – D.H. Lawrence
* The Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
* The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson
* Walden and Civil Disobedience – Henry David Thoreau
* Barrel Fever – David Sedaris

* Boy – Roald Dahl
* Leaves of Grass – Walt Whitman
* Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
* A Sand County Almanac – Aldo Leopold

* Howl and Other Poems – Allen Ginsberg
* Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte
* Rebecca – Daphne du Maurier
* Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
* The Wordy Shipmates – Sarah Vowell
* My most recent addition: Freedom – Jonathan Franzen
I love them all, its way too hard to share just a few of my favorites.
My shelves are organized by category-ish. Please notice the following:
* *Facing Unpleasant Facts: Narrative Essays* and *All Art Is Propaganda: Critical Essays* by George Orwell
* *A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again* and *Consider the Lobster* by David Foster Wallace
* *The Colour of Magic* and *The Light Fantastic* by Terry Pratchett
* *The Analects of Confucius*
* *Slouching Towards Bethlehem* by Joan Didion
* *Men Without Women* and *Fiesta (The Sun Also Rises)* by Ernest Hemingway (what happened to my copy of *Winner Take Nothing*?)
* *Mother Night* by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
* *Things Fall Apart* by Chinua Achebe
* *A History of Western Philosophy* and *In Praise of Idleness* by Bertrand Russel
My favorite quote from the last one:
> First of all: what is work? Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid. The second kind is capable of indefinite extension: there are not only those who give orders, but those who give advice as to what orders should be given. Usually two opposite kinds of advice are given simultaneously by two organized bodies of men; this is called politics. The skill required for this kind of work is not knowledge of the subjects as to which advice is given, but knowledge of the art of persuasive speaking and writing, i.e. of advertising.

I don’t have a bookshelf, unfortunately, nor do I have any shelves at all for that matter. I do, however, in my perpetual state of near-poverty possess a pile (a very, ahem, *large* pile) that serves the general functions of a bookshelf.
That being said, I don’t feel as if posting the contents of my pile here maintains any real relevance–I have a feeling that this thread will quickly devolve into the same kind of nonsense that every thread about comparing tastes in art devolves into: those with the broadest, most generally liked taste will be upvoted, those with more mainstream (read: mass market paperback) taste will be downvoted, and those with truly obscure taste will go ignored.
Personally, it seems like a pointless pissing contest.
I’ve got a lot more at home (specially from last and this year, when I finally got around ordering books I wanted), but right now I’m in Prague for 6 months so I just have a very reduced collection. The only one I brought here is World War Z (perfect plane book!), the others I’ve bought in Prague.
* World War Z (finished)
* The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (finished)
* The Unbearable Lightness of Being (finished it last week)
* Gravity’s Rainbow (starting it)
Here’s my [shelfari account](http://www.shelfari.com/fireblend/shelf) though, and all books I own are supposed to be there (I’m not sure if I’m missing any).
My partially entered library: http://homepage.mac.com/iaefai/deliciouslibrary/
A sleeping cat. She keeps pushing all the books off to make room for herself.
[Photos I took last month](http://gunner.imgur.com/bookshelf_sept_2010)
The extra space has been filled since then. =) Additions include Hyperion, The Anansi Boys, The Worthing Saga, The Jungle, and Good Omens.
[Here’s](http://imgur.com/79Qvz.jpg) some…
And [another](http://imgur.com/J0yAK.jpg).
A lot of bargain books.
I don’t have a “favorites” shelf. Before I moved, I had three bookcases; one for fiction, one for nonfiction, and one for overflow from the other two, and they were in alphabetical order by author’s surname.
I keep a list of my books [here.](http://www.librarything.com/catalog/stochasticooze)
Yeah, I have way too many books to easily pick 10 that are representative… I’d have to take pictures and post them. When I get home, if I have time.
[My bookshelf](http://imgur.com/ew5Iw.jpg)
The books are three deep on each shelf, roughly organised as top shelf: sci-fi, second shelf: fantasy and weird, third shelf: general literature and forth shelf: factual.
[here’s one, semi-representative shot](http://imgur.com/E7VgD.jpg)
Too many to name and they are shelved alphabetically divided by binding and in the categories fiction, nonfiction, reference, plays, poetry, and short stories (I think that’s it).
Here’s they are on [librarything](http://www.librarything.com/catalog/zip_000) (which I don’t update often enough these days).
[Here’s my Author Cloud](http://www.librarything.com/authorcloud/zip_000) (I don’t know why it insists on lumping together Stephen King and Richard Bachman as Richard Bachman… I know they are the same guy, but I still would prefer separate entries, and if not, then to use Stephen King instead)
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs640.snc3/32094_645473449060_18914827_37479583_3782173_n.jpg
And I am currently working on marker-painting my favorite quotes on each shelf. Only have one whole book case done.
My favorites probably go straight to the top including Harry Potter of course, some German/foreign language copies, any rare books etc.
I could care less if people judged me by some of the ‘guilty pleasures’ I own. It is better than owning no books <3
