So I've joined Goodreads and I'd love friends!  I am here as Daylight again :)

I just spent a ridiculously long time rating books (most of it for some reason spent trying to remember what Star Trek books I read and whether or not I liked them). This led me to decide to take stock of the actual physical contents of my bookshelves. So I now present a general breakdown of my books.
  • 79 Childrens/Young Adult books (Maybe a quarter of my original collection)
  • 71 Star Trek novels (I used to have over 200 but I've cut down over the years)
  • 19 Star Wars novels (again cut down by about a half)
  • 23 Buffy & Angel novels (plus some of the comics)
  • 84 Doctor Who novels (Mostly a mixture of the Virgin novels featuring the 7th Doctor and the BBC novels featuring the 8th Doctor. I used to also have about 100 of the novelizations of the original episodes but I got rid of those)
  • 10 X-men novels and about 60 X-men comics (I'm too lazy to count them all)
  • A dozen old textbooks
  • A dozen or so adult fantasy/sci-fi novels
  • A dozen or so books involving muppets
  • A couple dozen other random books (includes a collection of falling apart Alexander Dumas novels and several books on psychology)
Looking through this, I realize that my bookshelves are pretty much a good representation of what I read through the first 20 years of my life. For the past 10 years, I've pretty much stopped buying books and stuck to libraries. What I read these days (when not obsessively reading fanfiction) tends to be young adult fantasy, sci-fi/fantasy short stories, psychology books, and Terry Pratchett.
