This will probably mostly be for me.... I really like having books, so I thought it'd be nice to have a thread for it.
Unfortunately I've probably done more collecting books than using them.
I haven't done a lot of fiction reading lately, just haven't had a lot of time. But don't let that discourage you from sharing books you like!
Nonfiction books are a lot of times fantastic resources. The further you get into a subject, the harder it gets for finding resources on that subject. Like you can easily find graphics sources online, but you're not likely to find anything that comes anywhere close to the Real Time Rendering textbook. Sometimes with math, Google will literally come up empty on subjects that I've tried searching.
I think the biggest reason I like collecting books, is because growing up I didn't really feel like I had access to learn about stuff.
Also hoarding is kind of in my blood.
