There are also lots of books by David Gemmell, RAH, Asimov, EE Doc Smith, Elizabeth Moon, Lois Bujold, Jonathon Kellerman, Tom Clancy and Stephen King.
There are also about 40 technical maths and computing books. Judging by the bowing of the shelves, they are much heavier than the fiction. I will need to reinforce those shelves soon!
I do have pretty much all the Pratchetts, but they're in a different room. As are the Harry Potter and the Jean Auel books.
