I can't post a pic of my books because
a) I don't have a camera and
b) there are too many, in every room in the house except for my son's room and the bathroom. I still have some in boxes in the loft that didn't get unpacked when I moved here 5 years ago.

Actually, might as well flounce.

It was in a post-your-mug thread. Everybody was taking pictures of their mugs posed artfully in front of selected books, so I took this picture by way of gentle mockery. That was where I found it to add to this thread: I couldn't be arsed to take a pic of the reference books opposite or the children's stacks of Horrid Henry anthologies.

I don't have a camera, and like MrsMagpies, a lot of mine are all over the place.

I've just bought a new bookcase from Ikea and Magic Sam had tried to alphabetise my books while I was at work, I was horrified. My books are also in genres.
When I moved in with him his face was a picture when I told him my CDs were in order of favourite. I thought he was going to kick me out again.

I get out lots, but when I'm in, I like to read.

Also: there's a book in that second last picture, that I bought to read on a flight in 1979.

Those American/Canadian covers just sing airport to me. Fantastically ugly
The Journeyer, by Gary Jennings.
They may conservative-down the covers for you brits, but I think the words are the same on the inside, no matter what is on the dust jacket.

Where was I again?
I lose half my books every time I move.
Being itinerant is my excuse for a dwindling book collection.

All that's showing of the book in that pic is the spine.

I think I have the same edition of 2001.
There's actually a mammoth in the story.

A friend of mine has converted her spare room into the book equivalent of one of those ballpools kids play in. She's put a 12" deep board across the bottom of the doorway to stop them escaping, then thrown in around 2000 paperbacks, mainly sci-fi and detective stories. If you fancy a good read, you just dive in and rummage through the sea of books.
Oooh I like this. As soon as I'm living somewhere big enough I want a room in my house filled with shelves like that, a brown mahogany table and a couple of leather chairs.Maurice Picarda said:I think that mine bitch viciously about me behind my back and plot insurrection.
nosos said:yeah I had the same reaction. I also really wanna move that glass away from the edge.
The angle makes it look more perilous than it is.. it's actually two bookcases piled one on the other, and the glass is on the lip of the bottom one.
Having said that, I should probably wash up.

Ms T and hendo have a really brilliant loo shelf. It goes all the way around, a bit like a square polo mint if you see what I mean.sheothebudworths said:
