Well, these are just the thirteen books that I know I cannot live without having nearby/owning. There will probably be others that I figure out that I will want to read and aren't available at libraries around there, but these are the books that I want to have near me even if, say, the college library owns them too.

Bringing an extra bookshelf, hmm... I don't think my parents would be into that, sadly. Though after I learn which dorm I'll be in, I'm going to have to try to figure out how large the bookcases provided in that dorm are. (As I got the impression that styles and sizes vary across the campus.)
