Favorite Books Desktop



I needed a new desktop background for my computer.....this was the result. These are some of my favorite books. Fantasy is obviously my chosen genre, though I enjoy a variety of other types of books. (If you look closely you'll note that The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien make a prominent mark, and that there is quite an abundance of Brandon Sanderson novels. I haven't found anything better thus far where fantasy is concerned than Tolkien and Sanderson.)

(Note that this is not a comprehensive list, and that only some of these are really my absolute favorites, while others are just titles I've read recently or saw while I was browsing images.)

In case you're interested, there's a list of the titles available after the jump.
