Lots of books on all subjects in a random mess. We've had to put those with a sexual content (e.g. The story of O by Pauline Reage) in the loft as our place is rented out over the summer.
Having said that, we did leave a whip out by mistake last year. |

I'm just looking at them now. Some titles remind me of people that gifted and 'lent' to me. Others are reminders of people that have passed on. They show an interest in cooking and history. It's also apparent that when I like an a book, I'll go and read other works by the same author. Some books are on the do-not-lend list, others, sure take it with you.
But it's a new world now, I bought 2 paper books in the last 2 years and got multiple e-books in the same time. |

I briefly went onto a kindle but I enjoy browsing bookshops too much and always buy something. We have a lovely 2nd hand bookshop in Northumberland that I can happily spend a couple of hours in browsing the shelves.
Between 4 of us we have quite a collection. Fiction for me, factual for hubby and a lot of old travel books from the days before kids. |

That at least one of us likes-
Terry pratchett (most in paperback to read many times, duplicate in hardback for the special reads)
Sci-fi (mostly early stuff up to the 80s)
Fantasy fiction
Douglas Adams
Engineering
Religion (not religious, curious)
Geography
The world
Every Sharpe book (well every lad has his mills and boon moment)
Old encyclopedias
Dogs, guinea pigs, gardening, DIY
Music (anything from bands like Floyd and Bowie, through to things like album artwork by hipgnosis)
Classics from Frankenstein to Tom Sawyer to wuthering heights.
A number of rareties like 1st ed h/b Robert Pirsig. One off hand bound lord of the rings.
The list is almost endless. Maps is a biggy as well from very early to a big collection of os landrangers.

I used to read consistently as a child and teenager, but my Dads advice was to read a classic (I discovered Dracula and gothic horror was included in this bracket) and then rubbish written more recently.

One of the houses I lived in during the mid '00s weirdly had two dining rooms so I put floor to ceiling shelves in the one with the best light, had a lovely comfy squishy chair and used to sit reading in there. It got more use than my lounge, and I loved it.
I've moved around a lot and had to shed a lot of possessions, and most of my books went in the cull (hence my reliance on kindle now).
I'm currently living somewhere that has enough space for me to hoard books again, but I don't have the heart, particularly when I don't know where I'll live next or how much space will be available.

Had a big clear out when I moved recently. Figured any modern fiction I'd already read I could easily pick up again if I felt the urge.
Got loads of unread so prior to Covid I was working through them on my daily commute, so lovely to have the luxury of sitting for an hour or two and reading.
We had just joined the library here prior to lockdown and I was suprised to hear you can now take out 20 books at a time! Used to be three back in the day.
My child devours books also so once lockdown has lifted the library will be the way forward for her (really good one here).
I love old cookbooks so I've still got a shelf full of those, plus special books that mean something to me but otherwise I've probably charity shopped two thirds of our stash.

(for the electisism, I was trying to think of the word earlier but it eluded me, not the baking and tattoos) |

Does this include virtual shelves? My kindle is very well stocked, mainly sf and fantasy but there's crime, horror, history and a smattering of 'lit'.
Physical shelves are mainly graphic novels and rpg books.
Yes I'm a geek. |

My bookshelves are esoteric, everything from Tolkien to cookbooks to crime to science. Just reading a book on quantum physics. For the third time. And I still don't understand it. |

I've got a large collection of Stephen King books and re-released compilations of comics I used to read as a kid like Judge Dredd, Charleys War etc. Also a fair few WW2 history books. |

I love organising and re-organising my books. I havd an almost infinite to read list and piles of books which I may or may not read.
I sometimes buy second hand books purely because I don't think anyone else will buy it. |

The fun books are on the coffee table... always interesting seeing a new set of playmates reaction to 'Eat Me' |

That the person who put them up wasn't that great at DIY - one shelf came off the wall last week, leaving big holes where the rawlplugs had been...
....mind you, it was supporting the weight of a lot of magazines, which are heavier than books... |

Not enough shelves for all the books, CDs and DVDs. You never have enough books, you only run out of space to store them. |
