Pretty good for an engineering science nerd: 58 read, 3 TBR and 5 wishlist. Though by default some of these are duplicates aka if you read the Chronicles of Narnia, you would have read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

I want to know why there is no Dr. Seuss, Rudyard Kipling or Stephen King!? No Scifi greats like Asimov or Heinlein either but Douglas Adams made it? Strange.
