About meI love books - I love the smell of 'em, I love wrapping 'em in plastic to make 'em last longer, I love arranging and rearranging them on my shelves. I like reading good critiques of religion, books on evolution, and selected histories and science-fiction space operas.
If heaven exists, it would look (and smell) a lot like Rizal Library.
"I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves." - Anna Quindlen
About my libraryHeavily slanted towards nonfiction, critical works on religion, and science fiction. Am quicker with buying books than reading them; am doing something about that short of seeing a shrink.
This collection is the result of two collections merged as one - my wife's collection of fiction and cookbooks, and my own collection of history books, nonfiction, and science fiction.
My favorite books.

Saw your comment on the profile of the only person other than me who had listed Shirley Fish's book on British occupation of the Philippines. Read it in Davao the last few days.

I found your library very interesting, with a great overlap with my more recent interests (religion, atheism, philosophy, evolution, science & SF). I guess I will look a bit closer at your library to see if there is something I have missed buying :-). I am actually a book-a-holic, buying far more than I have time to read, like many people on LT...
Just a note: The link to "20 latest acquisitions" takes me to MY library, not yours... Maybe this is why karen_o made the surprised remark that she owns all your latest acquisitions...

I, too, suffer from the problem of buying them faster than I can read them. Don't quite know what to do about that, but I don't plan to stop buying books.

If you haven't read R.M. Meluch's "The Myriad" (Book 1 of her Tour of the Merrimack series) then I highly recommend it to you as good, fun space opera.
Take it easy,

If you've yet to have your fill of critiques on religion I'd wholeheartedly recommend anything in my 'critical theology' tag list. I think the most thorough antidote to Christian apologetics I've read (written from a staunchly objectivist standpoint) comes from George H. Smith in 'Atheism - The Case Against God.' Your religious friends will run a mile though. For a more humane approach, Richard Holloway (Bishop turned atheist) imparts his humanist ethic with wisdom and tact.
