Martin from This Rugged Life emailed me a response to my blog entry about organizing my bookshelves. He said he spent a whole Friday night in to rearrange. He did a pretty decent job! You can tell a lot about someone by the books they have… It’s almost like peeking in their underwear drawer. He was brave enough to let me share his collection! It’s an impressive one. If I didn’t know him (which I kind of don’t), I’d guess that he’s a well traveled, boxing, social-justice-and-politically-aware guy who enjoys Stephen King and knows how to cook. I wonder how far off I am? I especially love his nonbook artifacts that are also displayed.
