I always have more books on the shelf than I could read over the next year. I can't go near book sales or I'll bring home another 2-3 to add to my collection. It's okay though....I'll get to them eventually. :)
I have a small collection of books, mostly science and how to: woodworking, gardening, cooking, repairs, automotice, household, fishing, agriculture, etc. Some stories, but mostly non-fiction.
