The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch)
A Storm of Swords (George Martin)
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (William Shirer)
Tigana (Guy Gavriel Kay)
The Return of the King (J.R.R. Tolkien)
The Scar (China Mieville)
Mountain of Black Glass (Tad Williams)
The Sandman (Neil Gaiman)
Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
The Complete Works of E.E. Cummings
Deadhouse Gates (Steven Erikson)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (J.K. Rowling)
Hyperion (Dan Simmons)
The Last Lion (William Manchester)
Blade of Tyshalle (Matthew Stover)
