Bookcases of the Damned (part three of five): They're not all mine


My wife doesn't have the same hoarding habits as me, and only needs a couple of shelves for her books, although there are a considerable amount of cookbooks and such scattered throughout the house.

But this is where she keeps the things that show her own eclectic tastes - more thirst for classic literature than I've managed, although I feel like she's somehow stolen Joe R Lansdale from me. 

We do read some of the same books - we've both devoured all the Slow Horses books and obviously the Lansdale - but she's also has a taste for the Penguin editions of classic books. She also has books on financial literacy and how to win at chess.

There're not my choices, but I like the beauty of of her picks, and the things it says about her personality and priorities in life. Her books are just as sexy as mine.
