Topic: What Books do you currently have?

[HyperSonicEXE]

Biographies, novels, artbooks, cookbooks, even comics, anything goes except for Manga:
That's a whole other subforum.

Also, are books solely for nerds? I'd certainly think not. And while I wouldn't say it's exactly the mark of the intellect, I think a fair-sized library on special topics is healthy new information for the mind when the internet just can't seem to condense it into one easy place or one specific piece of information is too hard to find.

I can't believe how few books you guys have. I don't even know the names of half of ours.
I suppose those that are more personally mine rather than the familys is a more reasonable list, though.

-Almost all of Terry Pratchett (30 or so)
-The Witcher & its followup
-All of Naomi Noviks Temeraire series (5)
-Series of books I can't remember, not got them on hand (3)
-All of Peter F. Hamiltons sci-fi (8 or so huge bricks)
-Wheel of Time (12)
-Stephen Donaldsons 'Chronicles of whatever' series (4-7 huge bricks)
-Windsinger? I forget its name. Ought to get the sequels.
-5 misc. mediocre books I don't want to read again
-Harry Potter books I guess

[Strider Xhaiden]

I can't believe how few books you guys have.

Actually, I have loads. I'd just have to spend 4-5 hours finding them all and then putting the resulting list in a spoiler tag to save space. I just listed the ones I've read most recently.

[Align]

What's the point of the topic then? Meh.

Well, I only list the ones I personally bought w/ my own gained money, if I were to list the books my mom and brother bought, it's quite big.

[HyperSonicEXE]

Oh yeah, a soon to get category. Good idea.

DO IT

Or at least the ones you enjoyed.

[Quickman]

Manga:
-a list of manga-

Biographies, novels, artbooks, cookbooks, even comics, anything goes except for Manga

Way to fail reading comprehension.


And this post shall remain here for posterity.

[Psycho Yuffie]

Way to fail reading comprehension.

Manga are comics.

[Quickman]

Japanese comics, yes.  But, as HyperSonic said, they go in a different thread.  So, my comment still stands.

[Psycho Yuffie]

Okay, fine. I removed my list.

[HyperSonicEXE]

I'd start up a "What Manga do you currently have?" thread on the Anime & Manga subforum, 'cept I don't own any, myself. I pass up issue 6 of the MMBN series every time I'm at Barnes and Noble, even though it's got Bass.EXE's origin story in it.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

lol, discrimination of art styles of different countries.

I wonder what comics from Argentina have to called.  I mean Cybersix is an anime that originated from a comic books series from Argentina and the art style is VERY much the same.

life is fun

DO IT

Or at least the ones you enjoyed.

well...I haven't read any of them ^^''''

[HyperSonicEXE]

lol, discrimination of art styles of different countries.

That's right! There's not a "American Cartoons and Comics" board! For shame.

There's also not a "Cavepaintings and Caveetchings" board, or a "Herbal Paints and Papyrus Masterpieces" board, or a.... 

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

Well said, if I say so myself

[Protoman Blues]

Biographies, novels, artbooks, cookbooks, even comics

Way, way, way, way, way too many to list.

anything goes except for Manga:

Also, I think it's hypocritical not to allow Manga to be listed in here.  I, for one, like to stress that Anime and Manga are simply cartoons and comic books, just from Japan (or Korea nowadays).  I view Cowboy Bebop & Outlaw Star no differently than I view Batman: The Animated Series or James Bond Jr.  The same goes with me for comics, whether Japanese or US or from any region around the world.  Just because Manga has it's own section on this forum does not discount it as a book or reading, so I move that it be included in here, because not allowing it in is a form of reverse discrimination, IMO.

Yes, I was wondering why comics were being allowed.

While I understand what Hypersonic was going for, I completely agree with this post.
