Four full book cases, ten collapsible crates, five long cardboard boxes, lost count of how many piles of reading matter there are scattered about the place now... Once the inhabitants of my aquarium leave this astral plane, I'll be able to get another shelf in there maybe.
If you are a bibliophile it's like being a 'reformed' crack addict. Going past a book shop is like walking past your old crack dealer every day! I just hope they do hurry up and build a Book Collectors TARDIS!!!
More shelves, and somewhere to put them! That's what I need for Xmas.
ReplyDeleteMate,I need a bloody TARDIS!!! My research books need at least 5 more shelves and I've no space left!

ReplyDeleteOr as you suggest, a Tardis would do nicely :)
Once upon a time, a mad self-styled librarian kept a house made of books.

ReplyDeleteRead via computer.....swig your mouth out with washing up liquid.
ReplyDeleteOrruugh. I meant as in window shopping!! No, I only read paper. I have no patience for reading off a computer screen. I did say " longingly ".
DeleteMy list of longed for books is on a lengthening wish list. Sigh. I have to get some of yours as fast as possible.
