No fiction books at all. I used to keep books I'd read but I stopped doing that about 10 years ago as I never reread fiction. I just read fiction via kindle now.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
Endless travel writing, 40-odd lonely planets picked up in charity shops for some deeply random places, some 300+ maps from all over the place, two meters of climbing and walking guides, about 20 books on the dark ages, another 20 books on the wars of the roses and early Tudors, all the Rebus, Potter, Morse, Tolkien books, and just umpteen random books on everything from the reformation, through the Russian revolution, the Jacobite wars, to the Yorkshire ripper.
Pride of place goes to the official journal and history of the 1924 Everest expedition. Bought it in a charity shop, and I must have read it 20 times - perhaps I'm hoping that the ending will change...

Lit Theory - and then within that a fair few books on African American writing, authenticity, etc.
In terms of fiction, a decent range of stuff but for individual authors a lot of James Baldwin, Percival Everett, Colson Whitehead, Douglas Coupland, and for some reason Peter F Hamilton.
