Book tastes
For fiction: murder mystery / thriller / adventure, preferably with a historical and/or scientific context (The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco and Angels & Demons by Dan Brown would be the perfect examples)
For nonfiction: history (Asian, European, warfare) / science (physics, chemistry, mathematics) / architecture / engineering / geography / languages (German, Italian, Korean, Spanish), or any combination of the above
Don't get this!
For fiction: YA and vampire lit
For nonfiction: textbooks; books about WWII
Other notes
I still haven't catalogued my entire library here so to avoid duplicates, please avoid getting books by Agatha Christie, Nora Roberts, Umberto Eco, Dan Brown, Tess Gerritsen, and Tim Marshall.
For nonfiction: "any combination of the above" means that a book about the history of German architecture and is written originally in German would be a very nice find.
