It's been such a long time since we last had one of these threads.
I think the last time was when a certain Icesomething started one.
Basically it feeds into the fetish of booklovers to peruse through
another reader's collection of books.

9s asked me if I'd be willing to post some pics of mine and so
here is a portion of my books.

I've moved hous a while ago and haven't arranged them in any kind
of orderly fashion. About half is on the attic in boxes, and this
half you see here was just tossed into the racks without looking
at what ended up where.

So feel free to post pics of your bookcases for all other bookworms
to nose around in.

Your bookshelves look almost identical to mine, except where yours have cd's (?) on top, mine have more books. And I don't have a strange excercise contraption in front of mine either. And I'm sure the contents are quite different too, except I can't tell because I can't make out the titles of all your books. But other than that, it could be the same library!

Agh, what a pointless post. You can tell I'm really interested in work today.

i read all of them in, like, a day, Isten.

Hey Isten, d'you fancy playing in goal for us?

AsylumUtopia said:

Yup. I noticed that just now. The original pictures are somewhat more clear
but once uploaded to my link-site, they are compressed slightly which makes
it very hard to read the titles.

Plus, since half the content is still in storage, I should just have waited
until I had a chance to picture them all together with a better camera.

"Mark Twain"

and ehm "SFW books?" does that mean you have NSFW books?


[Edited 5/25/05 4:42am]

heheh. looking at the pictures I just discovered that I
have a copy of "The Professor" by Charlotte Brontë.

I didn't even know that. So I'm gonna cut my workday a
bit short now and start on it immediately

i'm so sorry, but i just don't like gay erotica picture books

so naturally i could not include any pictures of those

MarieLouise said:

show me your books! i'm sure i like 90%
of what you've got since we seem to have
the same taste in almost everything lol

IstenSzek said:

You also have Celine's Death on the Installment Plan...I have that too...

Have you read it? I haven't. Though I loved Journey to the End of the Night.

2the9s said:

Journey to the End of the Night was an amazing book imo. I enjoyed it so
much and it gave me some hearthy laughs.

As it happens, I haven't read death on the Installment Plan either yet.
My mom has though, and she says it's a bit like "journey" but there's a
larger focus on him being a doctor in a certain district, living with
his mother. She says it's even rougher than "journey" in it's language
and depicted scenes of domestic violence between him and his mother.

IstenSzek said:

okay...i tried to fix the pics...if this doesnt work let me know

Dear Istenszek,

I implore you not to listen to 2the9s when he suggests that you post a thread.

He is the master of boring threads.

Yours Sincerely

The org (well okay then, bkw)

Mach said:

Please tell us what NSFW-books are. I really don't have a clue. The Kama Sutra or something? We simply had this book in the living room. My father had a range of English books in his bedroom, I don't remember the name, something humouristic about a butler. But they weren't NSFW. They were just ugly and the house was safer when he read them in bed, because he couldn't stop laughing while reading, very annoying after a while

IstenSzek said:

well damn .... i can see the pics

Mach said:

Log out and in again. You probably have them in your temporary files folder but we can't see your hard drive

IstenSzek said:

I don't have a digital camera !!! Why do you think the only pics I ever posted here are about five years old?

I don't have as many books as you have... But I notice pretty much on your shelves that I have read as well.

I only have one bookcase for my fiction books, and another small one in the study with all the non-fiction, mainly linguistics and books about literature.

My boyfriend is not really an avid reader, but he has tons of books about the Second World War. Very strange combination of books, when I come to think about it. Less classical than your shelves are.

Oh yeah, and one shelf of poetry as well.

NSFW books like this



and i'll fix the other book pics...i figured out what went wrong

PANDURITO said:

I really don't think our booklover is interested in my boobs. My gay friends seem to fall in love with my back though. There's somthing manly about it, apparently.

is this just an elaborate way of
saying my thread stinks?
