A Gentleman's Domain

Thursday Thirteen #92

My first TT for some weeks, and I'm going back to books again!   Another selection of books that have been sitting unread on my shelves.  My TBR list never gets any shorter.  Have you read any of these?  Any good ones here?  Any stinkers?.

Eleven Plus Eleven

Lady Wylie of Toronto tagged me for a meme which seems rather fun.   So I am temporarily setting aside my no-more-memes rule and playing along.

"The rules are to provide a list of books that you have on your shelves to see if anyone can learn about you from them - but not just any books. They have to be books that you've actually paid for, nothing given, borrowed, stolen, or whatever."

I see that no total is given so I am arbitrarily picking twenty-two titles.  Eleven fiction and eleven non-fiction.  And I paid for all of these.

That's just a random sampling of the approximately 750 books on the shelves of my study.  And I tag anyone who wants to play.
