Author Comments: 

These are the titles I'd like to eventually have on my most prominent bookshelves in my own apartment. I'll have many other titles, but they will be 'hidden' elsewhere. The purposes of my most prominent bookshelves will be to brag of my eclectic tastes, make some of my favorites easily accessible, and to intrigue and excite visiting females. An asterix denotes titles I already own. As you can tell, I'll need to make some serious dough before I can collect all these.

More to come.

If I could switch lives with anyone in the universe right now, I'd choose this guy. Either him, or Bill Gates, and then I'd spend my money transforming my life into a more wealthy version of that guy's life.
