You, sir, have much more willpower when it comes to counting books, apparently.
I'd never be able to go through my collection in its entirety.

However,
Among my more prized books are:
Beowulf, bilingual edition, translation by Seamus Heaney
The Necronomicon, with fancy gold lettering and illustrations on the cover
Almost every Calvin & Hobbes book
2 copies of Great Expectations, one stolen from school, the other bought from a library sale
2 Bibles, one ancient and awesome, the other kinda lame
The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, with pictures of the original hieroglyphics as picture
Huge-ass mythology book, creatively titled Mythology
Complete works of Homer

Authors featured often in my collection include:
Kurt Vonnegut
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Anton Chekhov
Isaac Asimov
JRR Tolkien
Stephen King
Ray Bradbury
Ernest Hemingway
Shakespeare
Jack London

[Duke 2.0]

 Don't forget to make fiction and nonfiction sections. Then put Watership Down in Nonfiction.

[Vester]

*List-o!*

Of Jack London's books, I've only ever read "The Call of the Wild", I think was the name. The one about the dog, Buck.

[ToonyMan]

Meh, I like browsing 1d4chan and /tg/, sue me.

Anyway, I'm going into the wild!  Soon anyway, see you guys if I don't die in a bus.

EDIT:
I haven't left yet, I'm sure it'll be soon anyway.

I'm alive.

[Vester]

How was it? Covered in Spess Mareehns?

[Realmfighter]

I'm back!

Yay!

[ToonyMan]

How was it? Covered in Spess Mareehns?

After clearing the area of cyberbears, we set camp and played rummy with some hot pink playing cards.  After that we ate SUPAH BEEF CHILLI and then went to sleep for 20 minutes before being attacked by mole men, who are jokes btw.  Before leaving a volcano erupted nearby so we had to get out of there just in time.

It was good.

(Can you guess how much of this is true?)

[Realmfighter]

Yann Tiersen is a GOD.

Also, this.

And this to.

Almost all of it, from what I know of /tg/.

[ToonyMan]

It had nothing to do with /tg/ BUT OK.

My brother has a juvenile Goliath Bird Eating Spider.  He's gonna sell it once it's fully-grown.  This makes me happy and sad.  It makes me happy because it's badass, even if it's only about the size of a post-it note right now. 

It makes me sad because he walked up and put its molted exoskeleton on my hand yesterday.

He also has a baby Colombian Tegu, which will eventually be three feet long, and he had a ball python with a stripe down its back, which is apparently rare, but he sold it because he's not prepared to have something that big and he was hoping to make a profit since it's rare.

[ChairmanPoo]

sell it for a profit, I assume?

[Cthulhu]

Yes.

Oh, and his friend brought over a DVD of Pawn Stars.  It made me happy because that show is so retarded.

Basic formula:

Guy brings in antique
"I'd really like to buy this, but I need to know if it's authentic"
Calls expert
Another guy brings in antique
"I'd really like to buy this, but I need to know if it's authentic"
Can't agree on a price, guy leaves
Expert arrives
Poor-Man's Mythbusters Edutainment.  Shooting blunderbuss, cannon, etc.
They buy item
"I'm really happy that I reached a deal on this, it's a great piece"
Roll Credits

Rinse and repeat ad nauseam

Occasionally spice it up with "drama," like young fat guy buys a boat when everyone knows boats are a horrible investment if you don't like fixing boats every few minutes.

[sonerohi]

American Pickers is even worse.

Also, Pawn Stars sounds like something else, which is hi-lar-ious.

[White Kitteh]

I was digging through some old stuff today and I found this guy in an old notebook of mine.

His name is Marcus Hawker, Apparently. A miner from Mars, and demolitions expert.
Also may have been a cyborg, judging by that rectangle on his chest.
