"The Imitation of Christ next to Caine Black Knife.

Made me think of my copy of Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor nestled in between Pale Fire and The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor. Needless to say, Literary vs. genre battles amuse me.

They amuse me as well. I think the placement of other books reveals this as well.
I thought I was the only person who had lots of both Steve Erickson and Steven Erikson books! My count is:
Erickson: 5 hardback, 4 trade
Erikson: 3 hardback, 7 trade, 3 mass market
