Books! A lot of these I assume are your's. But I'm also guessing you've got some sort of a wife around somewhere, buying books and putting them on your shelf.
5 shelves of cookbooks!
A sizeable collection of King.
The entire ouevre of Nick Hornby.
2 Neil Gaiman novels.
A lotta Eco and Marquez.
'Water for Elephants'?
Kim Stanley Robinson.
Some serious research into English and Celtic ancient religion and mythology.
'His Dark Materials'.
that's three of the 4 shelves in the living room, there are another 4 smaller shelves in the office, one in our bedroom, the child has a couple of his own and there's one in the kitchen. all told we have over 1400 books which i'm currently reorganizing for location.
the wife is a chef and two of the living room shelves are cookbooks and culinary emphemera
i want you to memorize every single one. then repeat them all in an internet video where you twirl your head around so your dreads look like helicopter blades.
They were the bookreaders. The trainmakers. They made delicious foods for the world to enjoy. They went to the farthest reaches of the earth to taste the sky, bottle it up, and send it to a cousin they had never met. They were taller than ants. The books were part of an elaborate secret room. They were crimefighters.
I'm just glad you didn't make us find one book in particular, I've got a headache from just reading the titles. You sure do own a lot of books. How often do you read?
@KO, i go through about 3 books a month, sometimes at the same time. and i'm a great user of the public library. right now i'm in what can be called a rebuilding phase, getting books i used to own and no longer have.
@ace that's a lot of books to memorize and by the time i'm done i'm sure we'd have added more books.
I'm always happy to see folks that still take the time to read regularly. This is a wonderful collection. I'm just about to start the new Nick Hornby myself.
@ozzy, i'm sure i can convince the wife to supply some baked goods for the next whiskerino gathering. i thought it was, i pass the billboard to take my son to school.
@tedford, thanks. it's amazing how much stuff gets read at house, i have the new hornby on order from the library.
@revgoomba, clame for the entire contents of the library as of 4 months ago. we did some purging, added some more and i'm in the process of assigning everything to shelves before i upload again.
@david, homemade milk is amazing. not having a ton of books doesn't make you uncultured.
