Do you use the old "Kindle Keyboard" or do you have the newer "Kindle Touch"?

Looks like an author lives there. Or at least an old man whose main concern isn't that his visitors be able to see what's in his collection. Nice job.

Depends, there's a handful of used bookstore finds but it's rare to find something beyond classic lit like cervantes, joyce, faulkner, nabokov (which are of a few of the ones I bought used) Plus it's just too easy to one click buy stuff on amazon and get it here in a day or two.

Hello mr Reddit.

>>8571187
All of those dust collectors and tasteless knick-knacks at the top of the shelves.

>>8571270
Sorry anon, but I don't really have as much say about the top of my shelves. My other half even had half of one my bookcases commandeered until I took it back.

Nice.

>>8571306
N-nothing

>>8571341
Is she actually good? I'm so hesitant to read Munro and Atwood... probably irrational.

What is her best book?

>>8571348
Munro is short story writer. Not sure about Atwood, though, because she writes somewhat fantasy(?). It's hard to tell you which of Munro's story is best, but best examples I know of are "Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You" and "Dance of the Happy Shades". Give those a whirl.

>>8571348
She's been writing for umpteen decades now, and her short work is usually very solid, sometimes great. I've got about ten collections.

>>8571187

>>8570952
Because most bookcases have at least two fixed shelves, and you end up with narrow shelves and books that won't fit where you want them upright, so the choice is to lay them down, on their edge, or put them far away from their appropriate spot. Also, sometimes you just need to have a stack to save room. I'd rather not waste space and screw up the order constantly.

>>8570611
That is realy nice

>>8569479
I like it though, raw and functional. I don't have access to a workshop anymore, but I don't know if I would have bothered even then when you can get finished ones so cheaply. Picked up these three and another for the equivalent of fifteen dollars.

>>8570979
What do you keep in them to make them sag?

How do you sort your books, alphabetically? Also, do you divide books that are to read from those that are read?
I stack book that are to read horizontally, and those that I read vertically and alphabetically.

I use/have used most of them. The lit crit, history and auto/biography sections are Japan-heavy since it's my area of study.

If you mean the food section, the Edible ones are for recipes, the others have great specialized info. Tea: History, Terroirs, Varieties is the most comprehensive book on tea available.
