I'll post mine later

[DUKE 2,530]

I own a lot of artist biographies. I have always been kind of fascinated by... eccentric human beings and so I accumulated a tremendous collection of books about/by painters, singers, actors, directors and anything else in-between. I shall post a photo of them later. As a matter of fact, I don't read a lot of fiction. There's just a few novels by authors I particularly like, but that's about it. So I spend a lot of my reading time studying human beings. It's also lovely to get lost in somebody else's life for a while without needing to deal with your very own.

and that's enough for me

I moved to a different country a couple of years ago so most of my books are back home. I only have a select few here, I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. It's a mix of some faves I brought with me + new ones I bought here, and it's mostly fiction, some work-related ones, a couple on architecture & painting, and artist bios (I have an embarrassing & borderline creepy amount of books on Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett ).

I only own graphic novels and a Bill Clinton biography, so.

Yasss love books. Although I guess my collection is embarrassing if you consider that I'm trying to get a degree in English/writing because the spines are all very colorful and mostly I gravitate toward the ~poignant young adult book~ (John Green is the beeeeeest)

 

Here's where I store all the series I collected in middle/early high school that I'm not really into but can't bear to part with:

 

 

 

 

LMAO you can also see how childish my room is. Those wooden vehicles are a similar result of hoarding past memories and good times with my mom, there's a fake menorah just bc, Halloween decor, puppy birthday banner (my 17th birthday double lmao)

Also the only reason I kept those Twilight books is because they were a gift when I was reeeeealllllly into it and a super expensive boxset

Second shelf used to be full as well and also under my bed but I had a big cleanout earlier this year because my room is tiny and I'm pressed for space.

[Hello Heaven 1,578]

I only read fiction books once and then I either chuck them onto my sister's bookshelf or give them to charity so most of mine are ones that I haven't thrown away yet or non-fictions. I also have some old Milly Molly Mandy books and other books from the 70s about posh, snobby, English kids who live on farms that my mum thought I'd love when I was little. I'll take pictures anyway just to embarrass myself.

I used to have a bible to read just for fun, but my friends used it to roll joints   If there is such thing as heaven, I'm not gaining entrance.

I have at least twenty different Bibles, of all sorts of different translations and types...it's lironic how many different facets of Christianity necessitate the use of a specific type, when, if you read the book itself, unity among the body of the 'church' is what should really matter.  I've read about some Bibles that are in high demand among collectors, and some of them have really obvious translation errors.

Oh, that's great! I think he's an amazing writer and poet. Nabokov just writes so beautifully
