        Too many to list. Mine are dominated by old university texts, both from my undergrad and MBA (covering everything from Physics to Spanish to Poly Sci to Marketing to Corporate Finance, and so much inbetween), professional designation courses (CSC, CFP, CFA, mortgage lending), a good smattering of fiction (from Dickens and Austin to Crighton and Clancy) and miscellanious referrence books.

                  I've actually read Executive Orders. I actually quit reading Clancy before I became capable of judging a book's literary quality because I disagreed with his politics. I was rooting for the environmentalist bad guys in Rainbow Six and they ended up being murdered very brutally.

                      If you have Red Mars, you'd better participate in the Red Mars discussion!

                      The above is a shameless plug, thought of when I saw Odin's list.
