Well, yeah, I think I fit that category. I don't think I've
got quite as many books, overall, as you do. Especially since the
last mover "borrowed" <read: stole> some of my books. Still, my
collection is up in the three or four digit range.
It's kind of odd, though. There's a Borders Bookstore right
nearby. I drop in every couple of days, and it always feels like
there's nothing good out there. I guess I'm just getting picky, since
even Mike Stackpole's books have started to get boring.
Or maybe I have to start buying books that aren't in the
Science Fiction/Fantasy section...

Now that's an idea for Shadowrun; a list of popular authors,
publications, and similar stuff. I don't think there was one in
Shadowbeat, but I could be mistaken.
An adventure idea: Demented book collector hires shadowrunners
to get books from libraries all across North America.
Another adventure idea: Not-so-demented aged programmer hires
shadowrunners to hunt down and kidnap Brian Gates III in revenge for
his grandfather inventing Microsoft Windows 98.
