Do you know what most impressed me about Richard's bookcase? It's the double stacking. I suffer horribly from double stacked bookshelves, Dru. I need more shelf space!

I hope that Richard will be able to tell us. Richard?<br /><br />There was a book of light verse, AJ. Doesn't that count?<br /><br />Well done, Philip. But then you would, wouldn't you? <br /><br />You've got me wondering now, Stace. <br /><br />I've had two stabs at Ulysses, Claire. I think that was probably enough for me.<br /><br />It's not the having the Joyce so much as what you do with it, I imagine, Caroline.<br /><br />I spend ages staring at my shelves, NIAB. Usually because I'm wondering where the heck something is. Like this morning when I really really needed my copy of Beachcomber. Damn.<br /><br />I like the idea of lists, pictorial or otherwise, as a branch of biography, Federay. As you probably realise. Yes, the Ardens are impressive, aren't they? I still have mine because they're such good books, but never than many. I feel like a bit of a lightweight in comparison.Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-22723124360667400382010-07-19T10:47:49.870+01:002010-07-19T10:47:49.870+01:00I vaguely remember another blog of yours which was...I vaguely remember another blog of yours which was the contents of your handbag.

I feel prudish about bookshelves, I examine other people's surreptitiously in the same way I have a nose at the supermarket purchases of the person in front of me at the cashier.<br />I am now examining my conscience and realising I must embrace my inner nosy neighbour - as per your example.<br /><br />Am impressed and surprised at all those Arden Shakespeares... perhaps left over from school...<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-78444162706165275022010-07-18T13:38:29.917+01:002010-07-18T13:38:29.917+01:00Absolutely, always have to take a peep at the book...Absolutely, always have to take a peep at the bookshelves.
