books!

[gfish]

All my non-SF books are unpacked. (And one box of SF.) Yay! So many old friends. Machinery's Handbook. Russian for English Speaking Workers. Ecotopia. All my copies of Beowulf and Old English materials. Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The Way Things Work. All my Herman Hesse. La Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto. De Re Metallica. A Book of Five Rings. My complete set of Gingery books. Spacetime Physics and my beta copy of the sequel Scouting Blackholes. My shelf of wanderlusty adventure books. Handbook for Prospectors. Mr. Beck's Underground Map. Kim Jong Il's On the Art of the Cinema. The Craft of the Japanese Sword.

This took up all the bookshelves I have available down here right now. I have another one in Vancouver, maybe 60% full. And the SF in boxes is at least another two bookshelves' worth... Oh well, that will have to wait.

...put all together, the number of Alan Dean Foster books I own is really embarrassing.

I'm just starting my physical Gingery collection (already have pdfs) as well as things like 500 Mechanical Movements and Solar Projects for the Evil Genius and similar books. My problem is there's no enough shelving in the workshop so I'm going to have to get a router to make shelves out there from the leftover plywood I have.

And I haven't even gotten to the multitude of SF/Fantasy books I own. Though those might stay in the house.

Did I mention we've been in our house a year and a half and I'm still unpacking?
