Me too, don't worry - and i'm the moron who started this topic and thus made myself jealous and ashamed!

haha yes, the quote "Whenever I get a little money I buy books; then, if there is any left, I buy food and clothing." - is very true for me.
i've heard this quote before, but I cannot remember who said it. Does anyone remember?

It was mistake to read this topic. Now I want to reorganize my shelves and I really should study. Why I always want to reorganize when I should study? Many book shelves are very nice and make me jealous. i second that! my books are just laying in my shelves with no specific organization and without any docoration. i have some books in drawers too cos my bookcase can't fit all of my books. i really don't care as long as the books are clean and sound. but for my defense, im not much of an organizing person and my room is always a mess so the status of my books looks really good compared to the rest of the room. but the photoes in this thread is really pretty. you guys have done a really good job.

Those are beautifully organized dorothy parker! You give me something to aspire to. I'm going to post a picture of my bookshelves as soon as I figure out exactly how I do that! I have a few problems when it comes to technology. Plus my camera has decided to act up. Everything is against me but I will do it!

Wow you have a lot of books! I like that you've categorized them. It's easier for people to see what your reading tastes are. However, I've recently really gotten into deorganizing because then you have to look at it all to find something, haha. Lindsay you should definitely post a picture of your books when you can

dorothyparker; that's alot of books! good for you. i like your categorizing and organizing too. simply books on top of each other, pretty Lindsay; your bookshelves are cute and so is the little addition, Rudy. the man knickknack in the 3rd photo is that supposed to be like the ones on the cover of Brave New World?

You guys, your bookshelves are great! I'm so jealous! And now I really miss my own books, which I've moved back home during Christmas break... All I've got here are my stupid physics books and the few books I got from amazon since...

You´re all too kind, I never thought of my books as organized. So many pretty books, lindsay! You´ve got confessions of an ugly stepsister, I´m so jealous! Your dog´s so cute! I know how you feel, bookworm. Those books are all in my room at my parent´s and I don´t have too many books in my appartment, it´s kind of small.
