Different schools teach differently, so putting your location as "in my room" makes this sort of harder to answer.

You should consider the lange books for micro/parasitology and immunology as well as Robbins for patho.

The lange books are Medical Microbiology and Immunology by Levinson, as well as the Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology by Levinson.

For pathology and immunology as well, you can use The pathologic basis of Disease. The authors are either Kumar, Abass, and Fausto (for the full version) and Kumar, Cotran, and Robbins for the medium length version. There's also a mini review 'pocket' version (useless in my opinion).

My advice: Always use the full versions.

Awesome, it's sure to be plenty of info. You'll do fine with all of those books at your disposal.
