You forgot Food. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> There's always yards of yuppie cookbooks and food worship tomes. And maybe a Sport section, and a Travel one.
I have a weakness for Reference books too. Nice fat volumes full of quotes, facts, figures, maps, charts, diagrams or whatever. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />
I'm going through a bit of a book renaissance at the moment, after a few years of spending most of my book budget on computer games. Games are great, but the stories are usually pretty poor and repetitive. Same old, same old, same old.
I'd love to buy an RPG with some really great writing and story lines, but the genre seems to be getting a bit tired in that area, and heading more for hack and slash. (Please employ Plowking somebody!!)
For a while there I bought no new books but simply re-started at the beginning of my bookshelves and read them again. As I have many hundreds of books I can do this without getting bored by over-frequent repeats. But I've now got a large collection of games too, so I'm pretty much in the position where I can work my way through the best of the collection again. Most of the recent ones I bought just have better graphics and/or sound, but the gameplay/fun factor doesn't seem to have moved forward much.
So it's back to buying books. Don't give up on bookshops completely Koz, there could be something in there for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
