All bookshelfs are good if you do read the nooks in them.

>>11763011
it does look pretty nice actually
but i don't have any triangular books to fit in that space in the top left corner

>>11763011
>some books are leaning
what are you some sort of savage?

>>11763042

>>11763011
>harry potter
>pulp shit

Glass doors are a good idea in general.
Dust is a bitch.

>tfw built your own bookshelves from timber you milled off family property to the specifications of your apartment and filled with all of your favorite books
Doesn't feel that great, but it feels like it should. Maybe I'm depressed, I'm definitely frunk

You're very close to realising that all of life is vanity. Keep going.

>>11763638
maybe you could make a rope from scratch as well, my friend :^)

I could. I won't/ You say this like theres no enjoyment to be gathered from creation. I felt nothing when I crated the bookshelved, but now that I'm taking the time to think about it it's probably just because I created the to display things to other people. In the past I have created a number of similar items, including a cigar box guitar and a chess set, and took a great amount of pleasure from both of these things, when I think about them I created them not to display but to share with other people. thanks anons for that

a good bookshelf should be no more than 15 books tops, and only contain those you read multiple times or especially good and/or rare editions. anything else is an expensive and space-wasting way to do about what you'd achieve by wearing a little hat that says "i'm cultured please love me"

>>11764789
so what do you place in your house? or are you perhaps a monk?

some people have space.

>>11764801
>some people have space

Space to fight

This must be like $3000 dollars worth of books

>>11764801
>placing your bookshelf inside your house

>not carving a bookshelf into an oak tree and reading outside regardless of the elements

You already lost, pleb

>>11764789
>only contain those you read multiple times or especially good and/or rare editions
legit enough but not comfy
a good library is the one your grandchildren immediately fall in love with

If you care about reading a book multiple times should you get paperback or hardback?

>>11764848
>a good library is the one your grandchildren immediately fall in love with

A tablet with a bunch of books on it would work perfectly.

>>11764789
>rare editions
nigga u gay

>>11764891

I'd say paperback if you read on the go a lot, or if you vacation all the time. If you only read at home, hardback is best.

No this is

>>11765125
this is so dumb and I laughed so hard
thanks, dude

>>11764937
So how are those twigs that you refer to as arms holding up?

>>11764789
I don't know man, I enjoy writing and referencing books I've read in said writing. It's fairly helpful when I'm looking to quote a book on a subject I've read a couple months ago to still have it handy and have the notes I've written in it. You do you senpai. I admire the aesthetics of the small book shelf with the 15-20 matching hardback collections, but unfortunately that's not super functional for me.

>>11765145
Nice taste in books, plebus maximus

>>11763011
Cool, where can I get one?

>>11763011
> Harry Potter
> Douglas Adams
> YA Fiction


I mean, it's a gorgeous looking bookshelf but the book collection looks weak and all the empty shelf space, i mean cmon just fill it up already reeeeeeee

>>11764838
>tfw $3000 of books over here would barely fill 1/4th of that

Jesus, I hate how everything is so expensive here.

>>11763830

> if you are 8 years old, you may one day make it

>>11763011
The whole form reminds me of a sim card or the holder of the sim card.

>>11764891
It doesn't really matter. Just don't buy shit quality books if you want them to last, hard or paper

>>11763011
good for learning bout gay sex huh? have fun xir

>>11764789
Just because you only own 15 books is no reason to say silly shit.

>>11763011
>>11764454
>actually says library on it
what is this, ben garrison's library? Is there a book titled "book" on there too?

>>11763011

No, that's what good bookshelves look like.
