Author Comments: 

These are only some of the books I own; another 100 or so are waiting patiently on shelves at my parents' house.

Also, the collection is kind of dated, meaning that almost all of the books were acquired while I was in high school. I'm too broke to buy books now, so I go to the library. Any book I buy that isn't one of the ridiculously expensive ones required for school is probably used and most beloved. A lot of my favourite books aren't even here!

I've included graphic novels. Well, graphic novel. :) Not included are cookbooks, reference books and books that seem too textbook-like; the standard for inclusion was, "Would I/Do I read this in my spare time?"
