Bookshelf

I do not read books very often but I do enjoy reading. While I have read more books on coffee than anything else, I am very fond of fiction, particularly Japanese fiction. I like getting to know the characters and seeing them change throughout a book.

This post contains a list of all of the books that I currently have on my bookshelf (or, rather, on the tables on which I have stacked my books). I will only list books that I would recommend to someone else.
