Here's a meme, nicked from Pix some long time ago and then promptly forgotten about until now. Head on over to flickr for an annotated look at my bookshelf, and feel free to add any notes you feel are appropriate.
The thing is, though, I don't like holding onto books once I've read them. In fact, if I think they're any good, I usually do my darndest to give them to someone else and insist they hand them to someone else once they're done, as I almost never read books twice and I dislike having possessions in general (particularly books as they're such a pain to transport for little gain if you've already read them).

preen
v. preened, preen·ing, preens
1. To dress up; primp.
2. To swell with pride; gloat or exult.
3. To prance around with one's top off; to post photos on the web of said prancing; for one's website to be defined as unworksafe due to the sheer number of posts dedicated to said prancing.
I dont do (1) and (2)
I don't belive 3 is an official definition.
Dan, Adrain asked you to define "Preaning", not "preening".
Do pay attention, dear boy...
