Sobre mimI have been gathering books since I was a little kid. I even went so far as to hide a bookcase in my closet, behind clothes after my dad said 'No more bookcases!' He eventually found it.
Fortunately I have a very understanding wife. This has allowed my library grow with no end in sight. When we go on vacations we follow a guide to used bookstores, not a guide to tourist spots.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI collect books on subjects I am interested in. It doesn't matter if its hardcover or trade paperback, even mass markets are okay. I don't care if they are signed, have some underlining or have 'Merry Christmas from Mom and Dad' written in the cover. My only real criteria is that the book has a sound structure and isn't falling apart.
I am interested in a lot of areas - history, SF, natural history & writing, astronomy...
In history I tend to focus on 20th century conflict - WW 2, Cold War, Vietnam War, wars of liberation. Within this group my collection on the Vietnam War is the largest in my library.
In all these areas I am a completist. It really bugs me when I can only find a few volumes in a multi-volume set. The internet has made it both easier and harder to find missing volumes. Easier because there are more sources and harder because prices can be very inflated.
Because the Vietnam War is an interest of mine and such a big part of my library; I am listing books I recommend reading. Naturally, this list will change over time.
1. A Bright Shining Lie - Sheehan
2. Cat From Hue - Laurence
3. Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War 1945-1975 - Prados
4. A Cambodian Odyssey - Ngor
5. Any book by - Nolan
6. Shadow War - Conboy

In light of all the digitization efforts going on, I wonder if we'll be the last generation to amass collections like this.
