The 40-Year Old Bibliophile: A Beloved Literary Collection

I love reading. It's as simple as that. This contains MOST, but NOT all of the books in my library. I've included everything that I consider to be considered good (or, very rarely, poor) works of literature. I've included SOME popular fiction works, namely crime and legal thrillers which I also love to read, but I've left most of them out. The same goes for my collection of non-fiction books - I've included some, mainly biographies, but most of them I've left for a list that will include everything in my library. I'm not sure if this will interest people or not - I just know that I enjoyed making the list and reading all of these books. And to conclude, no, that's not me in the photo, although I wish I could pull off a look like that.
