On my bookshelf

[stickygirl]

We're stuck inside, running short of ideas but we love books. Post a snap of your bookshelf and let discussion ensue
Here's a bit of one shelf... more to follow if this idea is picked up

Thank you and I've already got some googles to do from your list. John Green *check I always end up balling my eyes out at some point in his books and I love him to bits. The Cost of The Dreams has me intrigued as a title. Yeast and Brewing suggests you are an alcoholic but that's ok! Cheers

Yeah well honestly that is the only John Green book I’ve read. My daughter recommended. The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon is one of my favorite books and Spanbauer is a hell of an author.

The Cost Of These Dreams is about sports stars and is ok.

I am not an alcoholic. I am a drinker and those books are for work which is considered essential.

Certainly no offence intended I shouldn't have made light of what is a serious issue.

I'm currently reading a sports book of sorts: it's the autobiography of Tracy Edwards, who skippered the first female crew on the round the world Whitbread race back in the 1980s. Often it's the person behind the achievement that makes the story reach beyond the sport

No offense taken. A sense of humor is wonderful. I like to drink alcohol and make as well. We probably would not exist without it. Read top of stack History Of The World In 6 Glasses. Also The Trial Of Adolph Hitler has a lot of booze history.

I went through a DH Lawrence phase but most of those came from a second hand bookshop near home. I emailed MJ Hyland, author of How the Light Gets In to tell her where I found the book as well as how much I enjoyed it. She was kind enough to write back and was quite touched to hear how her book still had life. Then I went through a classics stage so I had to read To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye. I think If I Stay has been made into a film, as has Lovely Bones.

Postcards From the Edge, Carrie Fisher meh... maybe I'll re-read it but first reading was pretty depressing.

I have very few physical books, but I do have 833 books on my Kindle.......I guess I could post those.

When I visit people I always head toward their book shelf, for ideas and tbh a little insight into them! I buy most of books from second hand shops because I don't really get on with electronic ones

so yea, if you can post the titles!

 

[Mr_Underground]

Here are some more. I dont know if you’ve read any or would even be interested.

Coo ta - far more interesting than dick pics The Big Sleep is a book?! Who knew! I reckon that can go in my bucket. I really appreciate you posting - I hope some other folks do the same, but maybe I just have a book fetish in an asexual way.
I could let you have a look at my Jane Austen folio set if you'd like?!

Yeah sorry about all the random dick pics from before lol. Big Sleep is a great book. Supposedly the Big Lebowski was loosely based on. Raymond Chandler is a great author and I’ll try to find some of his other books laying around. I suck at organizing and we have 4 book cases around the house. And I like books and records and booze a lot more than sex but I am a weirdo. And please do share your Jane Austen collection.

Your dick pics were memorable and South Yorkshire police had a chuckle ( bastards )
However, lets get to it ...

I picked these up from my favourite smelly hippy bookshop for a song. Bonus feature is Elllen MacArthur sneaking in and a book about Vietnam that someone on Lit recommended, so things go full circle.

I haven't read all Austen's works yet - I tried reading Emma but got pissed off by her obsession with quoting people's worth. Important to women at the time but tedious

Very cool...except for sharing my junk with the cops lol.

And I am impressed. I have aways had a hard time reading Jane Austen but that is pretty much true for me and anything written before 1950. I have a very random interest in literature but my mom was a librarian and I have been reading longer than I’ve been doing anything. Hope your enjoying your Sunday. I really like this thread and it is interesting that more folks are not posting but they are probably all caught up in the corona and selfies or some dumb shit.
