What's on YOUR Bookshelf?

I've got a ton of books, both read and waiting to be.  Just curious to see pics of everyone else's bookshelf.  I have a lot more on my 3rd and 4th shelves, but this is all I could get in one pic.

Got My ISBN

It's feeling even more real now.  I'm going to see if I can get listed on GoodReads with this.  And welcome new member Blues!  I'm glad you came.
