New Round

So... this is more of an exercise than a prompt.

In the book I finished fairly recently (Half-Life, by Shelley Jackson), which I know that at least two of you have read - one with love and one with less than love -- some of my favorite chapters were lists. In particular, lists of made-up books that lined the shelves of one or the other of the character's bedrooms. I don't have the book with me, so I can't quote directly, but I'm thinking of books like Spying and Thieving for Dummies... titles that made me laugh out loud in public spaces.

So, for this exercise: Write a characterizing list (or description) of a bookshelf. It can be books only, but the shelf might also have other items on it... everything has to be fictional though.
