Wow.. you people actually took the time to writ all the titles down.. most impressive... I'm not sure I would have the patience, although I have less books than many of you all! But it's interesting to see what kinds of books people read... might get inspired!!

Lol, Ea. Yeah, I didn't have anything better to do, so I wrote all the titles down. As you can see, my literature world revolves almost exclusively around Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Historical Fiction/documentary-type books. I think I've got like, one Biography. Ooh! I forgot to put it up there! It's a biography of C.S. Lewis, by I-forget-who, and it is I-forget-where.

Wow--it looks like the books you own are a lot more practical for everyday life than mine. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an exception, though.

_________________

Sure, I use my experience from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland almost every day... lol.

No really, I realised the books on my bookshelf give a very bad overall picture of the books I actually read. I've read tons of books from the library and borrowed from friends, so the ones I have bought myself are books I needed for school or books I have a strong intention of reading in the near future!! Like Moby Dick and The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy!!!

What do you mean by... 'practical'?

i would say the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy was extremely practical. thanks to that book i now know that the trick of flying is falling and missing the ground, you should never go hitchhiking through space without a towel, and pan galactic gargle blasters should be avoided unless you like the feeling of being hit round th head by a gold bar wrapped in a lemon. essential everyday knowldge, don't you think?

Maybe practical is the wrong term to use. Um....I can't think of the right word to use, though, so just ignore what I said.

Lol, eowyn--of course The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is practical! Having read it, I know how useful it is. It is very essential for everyday survival.

^Well, I made the mistake of watching the movie, which was a turn off, so I haven't read the book yet.. sadly enough it seems I might be badly equipped for space traveling...
