Lockdown meant her being at home to see the parcels from bookshops arrive - the extent of the influx laid bare. Not good.

easily the equivalent of an English Lit MA

my bookcase crushes craners he openly admits it

It's true, you have a lot of books in your flat, but apparently you've only read about four of them

perhaps you could have said they were unsolicited review copies?

this thread is no longer about "reading"

This is a book shaming

I'm planning a positively duplicitous lick on the local barnes and noble. Probably wait for cooler weather so I can wear a large coat. Leaving with my pockets full, pinky out (gripping a Starbucks beverage - decoy!) and all the Bibles in the fiction section

i will soon post pics of my neatly alphabetised bookshelves to document my recovery from mental illness and to demonstrate that life is beautiful.

3, yes 3 prynnes visible in that last pic.

can't compete with all you big brains but here's one shelf, lots of other nonsense on there as well (note about 25% of my 7" singles on top shelf).

the wife has two four-foot wide/six-row high shelves all double-stacked from her English undergrad/masters/PhD studies and leisure reading, but I don't have permission to share photos of those to the world.

The problem with really big books (and I know this is obvious) is just how long they take to read and how that pushes aside all the other things you suddenly discover you want to read. The time investment in a 800 page novel is enormous- I’ve just reached page 569 on the new Keenan and there’s still 200 pages of the fucker. It’s good and all that but don’t tell me he couldn’t have trimmed 100pages if he’d wanted. I made the mistake of starting two big books side by side. I feel like they’re the only things I’ve read all month.

We should have a thread called "post your shelves" or we can just do it on here.

Like react for new thread, sad face to do it here.

 

[woops]

it's my answer to the original thread question... my photo of my bookshelves is what i am reading now.

Is that a funko pop?

that looks like a funko pop to me and i can also spy those cuddling salt and pepper pots my brother's been through phases of collecting that kind of stuff

and perhaps an arizona bottle?

Isn’t Leo 60? Is this ‘nonce’ behavior?
