1. The Alien's Survival Manual - An Outsider's Guide To The Planet Earth, by Serena Gray. Just read this one, quite amusing in a Brit-flavoured, early 90s way.
2. The Eyes of the Dragon, by Stephen King. I've read this before, and I'd been looking to buy it again, so I snatched it up. Hey, reading material for during my commute!
3. A History of Everyday Things in England, by Marjorie and C. H. B. Quennell. Picked this up because I'm a sucker for potential reference books, and it's a 1969 edition of a book first published in 1918, which always appeals to me.
4. Celtic Myths and Legens, by T. W. Rolleston, because I love Celtic myths and I might need this for reference for my HP Epic Of Doom, if I ever write it.
5. 365 - Your Date With History, by W. B. Marsh and Bruce Carruik, which lists important things that happened on each day in history.
That's nothing. I have fewer than ten books still unpacked, and I own nine boxes worth of books. Nine boxes! I desperately need to go bookshelf shopping.
Well, *I* have so many books that I have two entire boxes full of *only* books connected to Edward Gorey. :) I guess the size and type of box would make a difference, though. And the fact I've got at least a box and a half of Soviet history that if I ever do leave grad school (I mean, without the doctorate), I'm getting rid of fast enough to make your head spin.
I'm amazed at how many of those books are non-fiction. I don't think of myself as owning much non-fiction.
I had a couple of apple boxes and then a bunch that are 12x12x18 (approximated using the ruler on my protractor because I don't know where my ruler or tape measure are).
