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.
Anyone for a thread on which books to fit on just one bookshelf, if you were limited?
Say, 20 titles?
I’ve outgrew my allotted space last year at ~125 ft^2 of shelfing. This year I have custom made a set of rolling shelfs that provide an additional 25 ft^2 of shelfing while opening up 6 ft of wall space. Wife’s happy, I’m happy, kids are still ‘stealing’ my books so I guess they’re happy too.
geez you sound like me, i have one book on my kindle right now and 4 paperbacks waiting to be read.
