This is a listing of my own personal library. These are books I have collected from my travels abroad and locally from about the age of 8, and I have separated them into fiction and non-fiction. I am a very prolific reader, and though I have read books that are not listed here, I have these books because I enjoyed them so much that I decided to keep them or buy them or i have found them useful In my continuing awakening. (My deep apologies to the few Libraries that still have me on their Most-Wanted list, although I have to say that most of the books were in fact purchased in late-library fines so i don't feel so bad) The List is by no means a complete, but I highly recommend each and every one of them and that you all go out and build your own personal collection. I have tried to keep the same topics under non-fiction relatively grouped together, but since my bookshelves are not labelled and some topics overlap, I have not bothered with proper classifications. I do hope you enjoy the list and that you read at least a few of my favourites. Enjoy! P.S. If it says Isaac Asimov on a Book, READ IT!!!
