Can't see it Dotty.

I could've sworn that book top right between the Thesaurus and Language said 'RIMMING' when I first saw it.

 

[DotCommunist]

lets try this again:

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm not a massive dickens fan btw, my nan gave them to me and they look pretty stacked up so I went with it

You have a book by Richard 'The Hamster' Hammond (he's not a real hamster).
You are dead to me, dotty

I have this thing about bios. The more inane the better. Its the trivial anecdotes blown up to life changing scale that gets me. I've not read it yet tho, am saving it for the next bog book

 

[DotCommunist]

my old dear built that bookcase out of random scavenged materials as well, thats why it isn't a venerable oaken shelves of the Big House Library. I like it though, it suits my inner punk sensibilities

you must read Bouncing Back, the bio of Alan Patridge. It works on so many levels but the main one is the inanity which I spoke of. Plus the dishonesty and self importance of autobiogs

 

[DotCommunist]

wait no, its 'I, Patridge'

 

[Nine Bob Note]

As promised, my DVD shelves:



Most of my films and a load more comedy and scifi are hidden at the back. Front-facing picks are drafted annually

Which will prove to be NBN's most controversial boxset I wonder?

Star trek Enerprise for real theres only two good episodes and they are mirror universe so don't count I only watched a lot for t'pol but you lean the other way so whats your excuse

I hope Star trek discovery isn't another shithouse offering.

Can we have requests?

I would very much like to see the bookshelves of marty21 BoatieBird inva and May Kasahara please.

 

[Voley]

You might sense a theme developing with the pile by my bed atm.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I hope George RR Martin realises that people have resorted to reading about the Pakistani transport infrastructure of a night time while waiting for WoW

 

[Orang Utan]

wait no, its 'I, Patridge'

I have read it! 'Needless to say, I had the last laugh'

I will do a photo in a bit, but I think you're going to be sorely disappointed Voley
All those years of living on a boat meant that I never hung on to books once I'd read them, and now I read most stuff on a Kindle.
What I do have in physical form is poetry, maps, travel, cookery & gardening stuff - little or no fiction.

I recon the best bit is how he describes that 'smell my cheese you mother' scene where he doesn't get a scond series. A masterpiece in self mythologising.

Note also that they are all the post tv-series editions in paperback. My 'Clash of Kings' hardback predates the tv series by nearly a decade

I'm not saying jonny come lately or anything...wait I am. I also want to know more about pakistani rail infrastructure now.
