Age 18: College began collecting books on Psychology and military science. Age 22: Career Int'l affairs, geopolitics, expanded military science, int'l development, technology, intelligence. Age 25: Darker fiction & Classical Lit notable mentions: World War Z by Brooks House of Leaves by Danielewski Sprawl and Bridge series by Gibson War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, lots of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky Age 29, today: History: 82 books Science Fiction: 31 books Psychology: 30 books Fantasy: 28 books Military Science: 19 books Science: 16 books Literature: 11 books Religious: 11 books Global Issues: 9 books Nonfiction misc: 5 books Philosophy: 4 books Space science: 4 books
