There's no way I'm posting everything on my bookshelf. I don't have that kind of time.

I guess I don't own that many books, I always thought I had a lot.  I just printed two books from Wikibooks GNU C Compiler Internals and Algorithms.  They look ok, but I think I would still like to find a published book on both subjects, I just don't think that the Wikibooks are as good yet.  I hope that they are someday.  So I have a question, What do you guys think about Wikibooks?

I read a cool one about raising chickens and another about growing dope. They were both pretty cool.

Although that readerware seems pretty neat.

I have all my CDs inventoried but not my books.  Well someday if I ever have time.

One day I'm just going to show up at your house with a stack of blank cds and start burning.

Woof... ditto here. Too many books weigh down my computer room to even begin listing them. It would take me hours if not days to delineate them all.

I am curious from the original post, though, what translations/versions are you reading of the Illiad and the Odyssey? I have my eyes on the Robert Fagles series, but haven't begun buying or reading yet.

E. V. Rieu for The Iliad and Robert Fagles for The Odyssey.  I got them becuase their both from Pengiun Classics, as are my copies of The Prince and Utopia.  Getting all my books from as few sources as possible helps keep my collection as uniform as possible.
