I've downsized considerably. What I used to own makes for a more interesting list:
KJV Bible
Catholic bible
Hebrew scriptures with interlinear text
Lotus Sutra
Vimalakīrti Sutra
Bodhisattva of Compassion (book about Guan Shi Yin)
Bhagavad Gita
Daodejing, including Chinese text
The Laws of Manu
The Kalevala
Dhammapada
At least 3 different versions of the Elder Eddas and 1 copy of Snorri's Prose Edda
A book about Inanna
Several books of Hindu puja liturgy
An anthology of Buddhist writings from various sects
A couple of Pema Chodron books
Insight Meditation by Joseph Goldstein
Also had God is Not Great by Hitchens, The Demon-Haunted World by Sagan, Godless by Dan BarkerFor, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris, and The God Delusion by Dawkins.
There were probably a few other books but I've forgotten what they were, probably because I never got around to actually reading them.
What I have left:
Cautio Criminalis by Friedrich Spee (17th century anti-witch hunt masterpiece)
Babylonian Magic and Sorcery by Leonard William King
Turning the Mind Into an Ally by Sakyong Miphan Rinpoche
Sit Like a Buddha by Lodro Rinzler
Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Only 1 copy of the Poetic Edda, the Carolyne Larrington translation published by Oxford World's Classics
Book of Gustave Doré Bible illustrations
Breaking the Spell by Daniel Dennett
KJV Bible
Catholic bible
