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

Here's is mine...

Here's bkw's collection:

I dont see the Da Vinci Code on that shelf anywhere

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.

Impressive! I noticed we read our books the same way... I didn't see any broken spines!

people don't give a
toss and "abuse" them as they read them.

I hate broken spines! Sometimes it's pretty much impossible to read
a book without slightly creasing the spine, and that's ok with me,
but I don't like it when books get creased and bent so badly out of
shape that they almost fall apart just because people don't give a
toss and "abuse" them as they read them.

Ah well you won't be wanting to borrow any books from me then!
I think broken spines and sellotape gives books character. You can always tell the books most worth reading in someones collection - they're the most abused looking ones.

AsylumUtopia said:

I guess that's why a lot of people assume that I haven't read
any of my books, simply because I take good care of them and
don't break their spines

IstenSzek said:

Never let me borrow them. I eat books.

Yeah, he wrote a lot of pages, but there's also a lot of white space in them!

The one just next to the big Cummings Collected Poems volume is a very rare novel that he wrote (a signed copy!), That's my most valuable book.

The plum poem is William Carlos Williams! Ask CarrieMPLS!

YES!
I once dropped one of my new books in a puddle. I will show you on saturday.

It was cuz I had to safe an old lady from falling in front of a bus, so it was done with love.

By the way, I notice a copy of Alan Moore's Watchmen on your shelf! Good stuff! You're geekier than you've previously admitted! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!!

JediMaster said:

I've mentioned my love for The Watchmen before here!

Post some pics, jd!

Unfortunately, the majority of my books are in storage. I'm kinda nutty about not letting the kids get anywhere near them!

JediMaster said:

what, does your collection contains *NSFW* books too?

what's it with you orgers. smutbrains, the lot of you

IstenSzek said:

No, just don't want them getting their grubby mitts on my books!

No, I don't have a porn collection whatsoever. Gave that up years ago!

Jealous much? I win!

AnckSuNamun said:

what's with all the green stickers?

what kind of a freak are you?

IstenSzek said:

I just like to label them that way.

AnckSuNamun said:

i guess that might make sense for such a big collection

have you also got one of them fancy little ladders which

you can climb up on if you need some "top shelve" books?
