"In the original Miami Vice television series, Detective Zito is murdered in Season Three. "

Yes. It was an entirely USELESS stupid unbelievable death. Totally unbelievable and wasteful of a great character.

I never forgave the writers. And now, all these later, I still carry the scars.

I assume he means bookcases used AS bookcases, not shelves for snow-globes, Beanie Babies or Tourist Trophies.

I enjoy “reading” bookshelves when I visit a home, scanning spines, noting the titles & authors.

Yes, it can tell you a lot about a person. Condition of the books also matters. Have they been read (and re-read) or are they merely a purchased book collection to show his “intellect”.

I'm giving it away, but I'm far enough down in the thread.

It's a bookshelf. Of course, the bookshelf must be full of books. The implication is that parents that like to read pass that desire for knowledge on to their children.

There were indeed two sets of bookshelves in my families home. But, one of them was IN MY ROOM.

When the Scholastic book catalog came to school, I typically ordered a dozen at a time. But that wasn't enough: I went to the city library every couple of weeks, and borrowed as many as I could. I remember several times I was told I had to put 1 or 2 back, because I was only allowed to borrow 10 at a time.

Today, my office bookshelf has a limited number of books, because I rarely kept them after I finished them. And I don't buy paper books any longer: they are all on my Kindle. I usually have 3-4 unread books waiting for me at any time.

Hmm...I think I had two bookcases in my bedroom. BTT.

A Stamp Collection would be at the top of my list....I learned more about the world as a kid, just from having a stamp collection.
