ahhhh, who saves who?

sheri u look like a book wormā€¦lolā€¦
i do love novels but hate readingā€¦

Wow - great stuff. Are you able to concentrate well to read them fully?

Wow you got me beatā€¦thatā€™s for sure. Iā€™m reading this really swell book about the history of the redwoods right now. I really like non fiction

I can see ā€œPoetryā€ and ā€œLife of Piā€ :slight_smile: I have many books as well and many of them I didnā€™t even read.
Very curious what else you got there.

Looks good @Daze, this is my ā€˜prettyā€™ bookcase, the other one has just stacks of printed out articles in it.

Read that one casually too disturbing got most of it though

Books make a lot of work at moving time!

Iā€™m down to just a few books because I had a fire that included smoke damage.

I have a full sized bookshelf dedicated to religious and spiritual books . I bought all of them with all of my money, during a psychotic episode. I was buying around 6-7 books a week and thought that I was going to read all of them. Iā€™ve read about 1/20th total.

Iā€™m glad to meet a fellow reader. Iā€™ve just read ā€œParadise Lostā€ several times, and Iā€™ll probably go through it a couple more. I take my reading in binges. This woman who lived at the assisted living center where I live had a huge collection of good books. She left them with us when she moved. Iā€™ve been adding to this collection with books Iā€™ve bought at the Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores. I find good books there in perfect condition that would have cost $23.00 or more at a bookstore. Right now there is a copy of Edith Whartonā€™s ā€œAge of Innocenceā€ on the shelf in perfect condition at the Goodwill store. It would cost me $1.00 to buy it.

I have a room set aside as a library upstairs, and floor to ceiling bookshelves in my living room and my basement. Used to work at Borders, the discount was great :heart_eyes_cat: When I lived up at the University, pretty much lived at PL.

Books are really my objets dā€™art in my house.
