I'm a huge book nerd. Not only do I like to read, I also like collecting paperbacks.

I have a small collection currently. I moved to a new country 2 years ago so I had to leave most of my old books behind. This is what remains of them, though my bookshelf is steadily growing as time goes on:

I didn't really collect the books. I got em by whatever means was cheapest. So it was often mix and match of hardcovers and paperbacks depending on which was cheaper or readily available. Sadly I tended to just keep them in the floor of my car. And then someone stole my car. When I got it back, the books were gone. I was saddened to see them go to say the least. So not long after I started getting audiobooks instead. Though it was more due to the ability to listen to them during work.

Don't be sad for me. I was not a good keeper of books. I just wish I could find the guys that stole my car and do unspeakable things to them.
 
My bookshelf is too big to take a picture of so I took pics of the shelves that actually held books. Quality is super grainy though.....iPad camera+backlighting=yuck

Sorry it's not super readable. I happened to already have a photo lying around.

Top shelf is plant. After that is non-fiction and philosophy/critical texts including cookbooks and gardening. Below that is music, DVDs and fiction (mostly science fiction atm, because I left all my big fantasy books with my brother). Bottom shelf is bills and manuals and/or pocket handbooks summarising science principles.

I spy Shakespere's combined works on the bottom. I also have aesop's fables. I have a book 'The Night Circus' which came from NaNoWriMo. I also have two copies of a book my friend wrote. 'House of Leaves' was a graduation gift from my brother.

My book shelf has a little bit of everything on it. I had to leave a large chunk of my books back with my mom. :(
