I have well over a thousand books. Probably thousands. Many unread. Just don't have the time for it like I used to but I keep collecting them from thrift stores etc... anyway in hopes of getting to them someday. I love reading. Most of my reading these days is on the comp but it just isn't the same as kicking back with the printed and bound page imo.
I'd subscribe to quite a few magazines if I could afford it. As it is I've narrowed myself down to two subscriptions that I hope I never have to give up. They are National Geographic and Smithsonian. I do at least manage to read every page of them every month. All while on the toilet. lol
FB: Those are some fine selections you have there. Some of which I have also.

I am working on building my library of books; right now it just contains the bare bones
PiHkal
TiHkal
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance
SAS Survival Hand Book: Field Guide.
Holy Bible
I have about a dozen or two e-books saved on my computer as well. But who wants to read at a computer.
I have some textbooks saved too. Ones that I found interesting, or more realistically, the ones the book store wouldnt buy back.
As for magazines; I read "Science Illustrated" and "Scientific American"

About the only thing i read these days
--------------------
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
