I'm sure I could have found more, but considering that I haven't even read all the books I bought at the last couple of sales, I considered it wise to stop. Haven't run out of shelf-space yet, but coming close. Any recommendations on which book I should tackle first?

(And despite my elation at snagging such great titles, I do feel guilty about buying used books and cheating the authors out of their royalties. I figure posting good reviews of their work might make up for it. Guess I'd better get busy reading.)
