    An article that looks to BR's bookshelf and what it says about him.

    So in that tradition, name 6 books on your bookshelf that you think reflects you. Let's see if we all interpret it the way you think!

    Mine:

    In High Places, Dougal Haston

    Touching the Void, Joe Simpson

    Times Arrow, Martin Amis

    Behind the White ball, Jimmy White

    Dune, Frank Herbet

    Beloved , Toni Morrison
