The books I own...
There was a thing...whatever that thing at the homepage for lj is (writer's block or something?)...about what the books you own say about you. I have always been interested in deducting/inferring character from possessions (gee, I wonder why I reacted so positively to Sherlock Holmes) so I've gotten around to taking a look at my own bookshelves.
It's worth keeping in mind two things: (1) I am in a PhD program for literature so a lot of these are required reading from various courses and the like and (2) I am the fourth person in my immediately family to get a PhD in lit. A lot of my books are shared out between my parents and my sister. So you'd have to look at the collective pool and...that would be frickin' MASSIVE.
One side of my room:
The detailed shots:
Another entire shelf:
My bedside table:
...and the hidden-behind-that-row-of-books:
From the sides of my desk:
My window ledge:
Conclusions?
....I have no freaking idea.
