I actually picked up some old bartending books as well as cook books about three weeks ago. I can't stand the idea of spending a big chunk of cash on recipe books when I have access to the internet, but when the price is right, eh, why not.
Other non fiction I picked up are some philosophy books. One of my favorites is "How To Stop Killing Yourself" which was written in the late 30s, early 40s. I love how they say smoking has not been proven to be either bad or good for your health, but beyond the small, outdated facts, the general subject matter is really interesting. The book explains simple stuff that we all generally take for granted, and end up hurting or killing ourselves because of it. I picked up a book on nicomechiean ethics, but I couldn't really grasp what the writer was going for. Ethics does interest me, but I need to be able to apply the principles to something mundane in order to completely grasp them.
As far as fiction goes, I picked up some of my favorite books from garage sales and rummage sales. I picked up titles such as Animal Farm, Paradise Lost, 1984, Alice In Wonderland / Through The Looking Glass, The Godfather, and some others I can't remember.
I also pick up art/photography books when I can, but they are pretty rare, and usually cost more than others. Sometimes I get lucky.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
