Lists of Bests: Alex Superstar's "Every Book On My Bookshelves To Date" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/6296 I probably own over 500 books. Luckily they don't all fit on my luxurious shelves so I won't be listing all of them, just my favorites and to-reads and strays, which I cram on my bookshelves along with taxidermy and naked Strawberry Shortcake dolls. HOORAY FOR EVERYONE. In no order.
