I liked that book, good account.

Bunches. Or at least there would be if I didnt give them away or trash them when I was done. I only keep a select few. Mostly fiction, from the classics to anything short of romance.

Zoner 06-26-2003 07:26 AM

Some old computer books I kept from school, a lot of Stephen King novels, a lot of Dragonlance fantasy novels, Motley Crue/Gene Simmons/Iron Maiden biographies.

That's about it.
