    Question Your library?

    Here is my library, it has everything i need for reference.
    Post a picture of your own library.

    Have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in ‘illegal immigrants’, and add just a few more letters, it spells, ‘Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking ********* and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-f*****g raghead c***s with you.?

    Let's see, just off the top of my head, Mrs Pip and I have about 20 book cases the size of the one you show, plus 12 half height and six single wall shelves...plus books and periodicals scattered around on desks, side tables, and so on. I still have every book I've ever purchased, as does she. It has been the single largest weight category when we move, aside from the firearms (ammo, accessories, gunsmithing tools...) and cutlery

    Our fictional tastes are pretty solidly historical (esp. military), mysteries (no characters newer than late 19th century), science fiction and fantasy, with a few contemporary adventure novels thrown in the mix.

    Our non fiction runs the gamut from treatises on stone age survival skills to quantum theory; Neolithic to Nanolithic and quite a lot in between.

    About 9 - 10 thousand pieces in all, I'd think.

    Then again, she and I have become something of "pack rats" over the years of being settled in one place (going on 14 years here in northern Illinois).

    I have absolutely no idea…I’ve been reading books since I was five, when I buy anything it’s usually books. At present I have two whole walls of my bedroom that are shelves from ceiling to floor, two more shelves on the landing and a book case in the dining room, plus quite a lot of books on CD Rom and on my hard drive waiting to be transferred to CD. Easily in the thousands but I don’t know how many….
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.

    I also like Ullarsskald have kept every book i have ever read, this collection is mostly of Japanese, and survival fiction. The vast amount is stored in my garage on an especially built overhead racking. The Roman Collection of books i have aquired is stored in a spare bedroom. As Ullarsskald has posted, a lifetimes collection of books is an ever growing weight.

    As you can see, my own personal library is perfectly organised and catalogued:

    However since I am a Helsinki taxpayer, I consider myself a co-owner of the the HelMet library database, which contains millions of volumes.
