Bookshelf
A bookshelf is the first I look for in a new house.
You can learn so much about a person from just skimming titles and authors in her bookshelf.
So this intended to be a digital version of my personal bookshelf. Since the stacks and shelves lack any particular order, so too does this list.
Note: I've only read about half of the books here.
