You can tell a lot about someone by the books they own. You have to be really interested in a subject to read a book(s) on it. So post a picture of yours, homies.
And I am after recommendations to, thought this would be a more interesting way of getting them so if anyone has any stand-outs in their collections then may they mention them?

Will post mine soonish.
