The Contents of My Bookshelf

My small collection of fantasy books keeps growing, and I thought maybe I should write down what I own. Couple (or more) books have been loaned (yeah, I know -- "Never loan a book.") and thus I don't have them with me at the moment. They're both (or all) Salvatore's Drizzt books but I can't recall which ones, so I'll just skip them, and instead just list what are actually here.

In addition to the books listed here, I have read quite a few others. If I had started buying books (instead of using the library) when I was younger, this list would be immense.

The [F] tag means I have the book as a Finnish translation.
