What do you consider essential for a personal library?
I'm renovating a room with my brother and we're installing wall-to-wall shelving, the plan is aside from old textbooks/work material, we'll be accumulating a collection over a period of years. Now while the /lit/ wiki is great for general recommendations, I'd like to ask what you all consider essential from your point of view to be kept in a personal library. I personally contributed my hardcover of Webster's Dictionary, my paperbacks of Zelazny and Pratchett, and the Norton anthologies of english lit I had. Suggestions?

That's interesting, I'd never heard of this one compared to Cervantes
