Bookshelf meme

Grabbed this from [livejournal.com profile] sibylle, who is in the [livejournal.com profile] filk community. Thought I'd play this one, as I've just packed all my books away, so I have a pretty good idea of what I've got for once.

Choose three books from your personal library that as a set of three would allow most of your friends to guess with reasonable certainty that they came from your house, and explain why if necessary. The aim is to pick books if possible such that any two of the three don't necessarily uniquely define you.

- Illuminatus! Trilogy - R.A. Wilson and Bob Shea
- Trickster Makes This World : Myth, Mischief and Art - Lewis Hyde
- Towards a Psychology of Being - Abraham Maslow

Then choose three more that people would be surprised to find on your shelves (Terminal damage to your street cred is optional).

- The Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley (though to be fair, my brother left it at my house)
- When Someone You Love is Wiccan - Carl McColman
- How to Draw Comic Book Heros and Villains - Christopher Hart
