My storage space contained piles of books. Most of them from college, some given to me as gifts and a few head-scratchers I bought from used book stores. (The results of youthful indiscretion.)

They were all covered in dust, so I spent about three hours wiping the covers and sorting them. I donated a large portion of them to a local public library in hopes they could use them or sell at a book fair. Here are the ones I kept, in no particular order:
