Book List

I managed to endure one of the ordeals I described last night: I picked my books. They are as follows:

Leather Bounds
Mark Twain: Selected Works
Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Works
The Works of Washington Irving
The Complete, Fully Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll
Medieval Epics and Sagas (containing things like Beowulf, The Son of My Cid, The Song of Roland, etc.)

Mythology and Folktales
The Once and Future King, T.H. White
Celtic Myths and Legends, Peter Berresford Ellis
Best-Loved Folktales of the World, Joanna Cole

Drama
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond Rostrand

Writing Aids
Robert's Rules of Writing, Robert Masello
The Plot Thickens, Noah Lukeman
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, Lynne Truss

Mental Health
Lord of the Rings (combined volume), J.R.R. Tolkien
The Lays of Beleriand, J.R.R. Tolkien
Going Postal, Terry Pratchett (I wanted to put Thief of Time in as well, but no room)
The Dark is Rising / Greenwitch / The Grey King / Silver on the Tree, Susan Cooper (I couldn't fit Over Sea, Under Stone in the box)
The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara

There are so many I had to leave out. I didn't even fit The Divine Comedy in. I might be able to sneak a few more slim volumes into the writing materials box (the binders fill it from top to bottom, but not from side to side).
