Too many to list! Everything from Anne Rice to Stephen King to various Computer related books to self - help to law related (since that's the field I work in) and on and on and on. Some are still packed up from my move last year. No room in the new place to keep them out.

I´m also one of those who have lots of books:

One Big Bookshelf (2 meters high, 0,8m wide) filled with Books about Computer, Programming (mostly C++, Java and Visual Basic), Databases and the like.

Several Books about Biology (hey, I´m just studying it, aside from Computer Science )
Several Non Fictious Books about a couple of things like Philosphy, Zen-Budhism, Psychology, Cooking, Astronomy/Astrophysics and other things
Loads of Fantasy Books (mostly Battletech, Shadowrun, Earthdawn, but of course also things like Lord of the Rings or Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy)
And aside from this all loads of Magazines. Aside from the weekly magazines "Die Zeit" and "Focus" there are lots of Magazines about Computer/Computergames, Biology, Science and Astronomy.

My rooms would look very empty If I would get rid of all of my books and magazines

About 200 in the living room. Mostly artsy-fartsy uni trash and non-english language books as well as the oversize books of art (Rembrandt, Dali, Geiger, Frazetta, etc). About 600 science fiction and fantasy in the bedroom collected since about 73 (mostly paperbacks). Another 50 or so technical and textbooks downstairs in my office. About 100 more fiction in the TV room.

Too many to list. Mine are dominated by old university texts, both from my undergrad and MBA (covering everything from Physics to Spanish to Poly Sci to Marketing to Corporate Finance, and so much inbetween), professional designation courses (CSC, CFP, CFA, mortgage lending), a good smattering of fiction (from Dickens and Austin to Crighton and Clancy) and miscellanious referrence books.

I've actually read Executive Orders. I actually quit reading Clancy before I became capable of judging a book's literary quality because I disagreed with his politics. I was rooting for the environmentalist bad guys in Rainbow Six and they ended up being murdered very brutally.
