My childhood bookshelf. Bad quality but a lot of books

I've got loads of these

>>3778524
Me too. I've saved a few from the Captive Reader's library lust column.

>>3778536

>>3778540
My favorite but I would rip the wallpaper off and put a huge beanbag or hammock in the back.

>>3778542

I usually get mine off bookshelf threads on here and from bookshelfporn.

that's funny, they're using memes in its real meaning.
anyway, any proper "book-lover" should consider themselves an aesthete, and not condone this low quality jpg shit.

>>3778555
So post some pictures that aren't "low quality" then.

>>3778563
I don't have any of bookshelves. please don't be hostile at me.

1/3

Last two shelves are comics. /lit/ wouldn't be interested.

Book next too Edwin Drood and King is Ulysses.

>>3779272
I cry a little inside every time I see a /lit/ user with an infinite jest in their shelf. Why does everyone fall for this?

2/3

Who else loves tea? Because I really do love it.

>>3779280

mfw atleast they didn't get the barns n noble leather-bound classics

House of Leaves is on shelf 4.

3/3

Here is mine, not like some i've seen here, but it's mine.

>>3779281
I call a soggy bag of dicks. There is no way those Penguin classics have been read.

>>3779310

Everything there has been read once. Except shelf 1 which is my backlog.

>>3779281
Tea you say?
I always make a nice pot of tea when I'm going to read. When I drink a certain tea, I can't help but think of the book I've read while drinking that tea.

>>3779319
Not even. Unless they were read in a frictionless vacuum in the center of the CDC. Mine all look like this.

>>3779335

Tea is essential for reading. Drinking some green while i'm finishing up Lolita. We have the same Poe collection. How is The Plantagenets? i've had my eye on it for a while

>>3779336

i'm surprised by how quickly Penguin editions spine become damaged. Ones I own are only a year or so old.

>>3779281
>Who else loves tea?
I do. However, it seems like I'm unable to do a good one even when reading the instructions on the box.

>>3779335
Is The Rise of Rome good, anon?

>>3779373
I've found The Plantagenets quite brilliant. It kept me hooked from the very beginning. Well written, he paints a clear picture of the times, not just England, but everything.

>>3779379
The Rise of Rome is bretty good. It's more a starting point into Roman history, I think. It gives an overview from Rome's mythological origin to the fall of the Republic. Very interesting, but keep in mind that it doesn't go all too deep.

>boil water
>add teabag to cup
>add water
>wait for a couple of mins
>add a little milk
>add sugar if you want

Unless you're talking about the stuff that's not in bags, then I have no idea.

>>3779376
Okay. Take the number of people you're tea-ing with. Add one to that, and add the number of teaspoons of leaves to the pot. If black tea, brew for three to seven minutes depending on how strong. If green/white, four minutes max.
Do not add milk and sugar, instead wait for your guests to do it themselves. Also, warm the pot, and for the love of god do not use fruit tea.

Tea is nice but coffee is master race non-alcoholic non-water beverage.

>>3779376
Which sort of tea? For English mode, see Orwell's essay.

Penguin Classics has got a great thing going. I know people who will often only buy books if they have the iconic black cover.

>>3779441
They're talking about herbal and similar teas that should be drunk black

Not Tetley
Which they should be drinking

>>3779441
>add a little milk
what the fuck
who the hell does this

>>3779497
its the twenty first century....

lash out on some almond milk and honey

or even better get some hazelnut chocolate milk and some maple syrup

>>3779495
Herbal? You mean Bitch Tea.

>>3779441
Stuff in bags isn't really any different to using a french press to make coffee except you strain the leaves through a screen instead of actually pushing.

>>3779515
stuff not in bags*

donated a lot of my books to a book drive recently, but this is what I still have

>>3781245
4/10, I mad

>>3781245

I'm a pleb and my bookshelf sucks

8/10
>almost had me

Local bookstore. There are literally books EVERYWHERE. On the floor, shelves, chairs, even the toilet in the bathroom. Its awesome, and really makes the place feel really homey and welcome.

Most of my good books are in piles or scattered across the floor.
My bookshelf is full, mostly of stuff I read ages ago (SF and YA) though there is one shelf of classics.

This is my book shelf at my own place, I have most of my books at my parents place.

I'm loving the spaghetti

>>3779303
whoa, hold up just a second. are those asimovs' (foundation, foundation&empire, second foundation) comics? or regular print books?
if they were later adapted into comics, i must know this.

>>3782378
Yeah that's pretty cool because I hate actually being able to find something when I'm looking for it and I enjoy buying stuff from a store whose employees are too lazy to properly organize everything.

Great post. Love the instagram filter too.

Can you say "entry level"?

>>3782378
There's a similar place in my city. It's like 3 old 3-story houses knocked together with every room and half the corridors just filled with books.
It's amazing. The photo really doesn't do it justice.

It's like the only good shop in the shithole.
