There is The Federalist Papers, The Wealth of a Nation, The Foundation of Success and Laws of Trade, Concordia hymnal, plus a beer mug from the Chicago office of the ATF.

The beer mug is next to The Merchant of Death.... fitting.

    I have over 2,000 volumes in my personal library. I felt it would be a great asset towards my children's education, as well as my own. That was before the internet. I still prefer the look and feel, and the smell of a paper bound book.

    I am a self educated man. Maybe not so well, but I am well read.

    More books than I can read in my lifetime.
    I say that because I've been collecting and reading books since I was in elementary school. I'm currently 53 years old and there are STILL some books in the library that I haven't read yet.
    And I need to build another bookcase.

    Too many to list, but they include Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, The Lord of the Rings (2 box sets, actually; one from the 70s, one from the post-movie era, both include The Hobbit), the first 5 volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones, for those who never read the books), Catch 22, We Were Soldiers Once...And Young, PT 109, and many, many others.

    Maybe one of these days I'll get to taking pics of my bookcases. And the stacks on the piano. And the stacks on the fireplace. And the boxes in the basement. And others scattered around. But yeah, mostly books.

    Of course it was on the Marine Corps Required reading list. It actually starts "With the Old breed" Now with my Memory failing I seem to remember he wrote at least one other. Or He was in someone else's book by name. The other books he wrote I do not remember reading . So he must have been mentioned in another book.
