My Literature Footprint: What Does It Say About Me?

^{Note: The following post should be read in your best Andy Rooney voice. Feel free to comb up your eyebrows to add to the effect.}

I was wondering what my literature footprint says about me. I decided to take stock of what I have sitting around me and let you have a peek into my mind.
