These are just the physical books I own. I haven't even added my ebooks cause there'd be to many haha. I have a book buying addiction haha. I've heard good things about a lot of them. I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I've banned myself from buying anymore until I've read at least 10 of these and cleared a shelf.

You should read it. It's a beautiful story. It starts off a bit slow but it builds up.

Kateb | 55 comments I felt the same way about David Eddings, I gave away all the books. I couldn't believe all of that ending the way it did.
