Lots of how-to/self-improvement... like gardening, cooking, pet-care and art/anatomy books.

Astrology books, of course. I used to read spirituality and parapsychology themed books.

Biographies (rarely auto-biographies)

African-American/Latin american literature, nonfiction and fiction

Random comic books and manga. I love picture books.

Oh, and smut.

I have a lot of books about the following...

A. Existential and theoretical lit [go Merc-Saturn!]

B. Dramatic biographies and tragic stories, Hamlet, books about Gia Carangi, Anne Sexton's letters, stories of overcoming abuse and terror, etc... must be a Scorpio thing.

C. Dry, satirical comic pieces by authors like David Sedaris, also Jean Paul-Sarte, also sort of falls under A but what the heck, I just love dry humor and anything that's satirical.

I'm a complete and utter bookslut. I will read anything and everything, even the shampoo bottles in my friend's bathrooms will do when I feel desperate.

My book collection is eclectic and vast. Fiction/ non-fiction, old/new .... everything from Chaucer to Austin to Tolkein to Yann Martel, in just about every fiction genre. And I love all sorts of non-fiction - esp spiritual and esoteric literature, astronomy, architecture ... but really anything will do.
My favourite reads are always a bit offbeat (I admire originality, not formulaic reads) .... not too mainstream.. they must present a challenge. Something like Umberto Eco is pure heaven for me.

alternative medicine. Doesn't that make perfect sense?

Does your book collection match your Mercury?

My favorite in my library collection are:

Twilight
Harry Potter
The Messenger
All of Rett MacPherson's mysteries
The Ice Man by Philip Carlo

The rest are assorted astrological/spiritual, relationship, psychology, and self-help books.

When I was younger I used to get fashion books.

Right now I have a large collection of Uncle John Bathroom Readers, astrology books, a college math book, a book on how to have a body like a dancer, (I used to have another book on how to do the dancer exercises and actually used it and it worked really well but I gave it up and thought I might get back into it so I picked up the one I have now and I'm still thinking maybe someday...) a book about screenwriting, all three volumes of the Tightwad Gazette, two of Chelsea Handlers books, two of Ellen Degeneres' books (I love them) A book called the Broke Diaries which started out as a blog, ahm, let's see what else, a huge dictionary from the twenties that includes a mini medical dictionary, science and short hand. I used to have a book on shorthand actually but that was a long time ago. I have some recipe books-used to have a lot more though.

I don't own any of above magazines ^^ - above post was meant to be a shallow/superficial prank for - April Fools' day (seemed fitted for the topic in question). Though, i did bought a PlayBoy magazine - back when i was 12 years old. In those days (90's) - we had no internet and very few of us had a VCR at home, so... yeah, in a way - that was the closest thing to porn. Was just a boy, curious by nature - but as a Gemini, was also whiling to share my discoveries with others. I bought that magazine during school brake and brought it back to school... and... ^^ what can i say - there was a lot of hunger in the air for its contents. Both male and female colleagues gathered around my desk - forming a circled around it (like a tent) - literally climbing on top of each-other just to see something... as if i found a real treasure map - or some alien technology. ^^ For me, that excitement had a short life spawn. I bought 3 edition of PlayBoy in total and after that - I lost the interest for similar type of magazines... and just like a Gemini (young and foolish as most boys of my age) - i moved to something more interesting like "IT (back then - I had a big passion for computers and newly released technology)". ^^
