These, except a lot of them are upside down because I don't need to read the titles to know what they are. You can just fit more books into a smaller space if you stack them. My shelves are visibly bending under the weight, I love it.

Same, and right next to my bed.
Although I do have a small salt stone lamp to read at night taking up valuable book space. But it's so packed otherwise, I'll probably die if an earthquake hits during my sleep.

I used to have (not entirely serious) fantasies about being able to use piles of books as furniture. If I ever have the money I'll definitely invest in a climate controlled cupboard or even room to keep my rarer books in. I know collecting rare books is a completely pointless vanity, one never sells that sort of thing, but just being near them and knowing they're there gives me a sort of soothing euphoria.

>> No.6615474

>>6615464
I wouldn't go that far. If you're not careful and have lots of space between pieces of furniture, you might get a silver fish haven. I've had to eradicate them from an overfull personal library before; would be a nightmare to do in stacks that aren't sorted on a shelf.

These ones are pretty small and light so I only have a couple small books on these along with my CD's. I use some boxed sets as bookends on top of my overcrowded bookshelf.
