Jayne ,'The Train Job'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
He probably wouldn't mind that at all, JZ.
ita, would the shelf I linked to above help? Maybe it could be solely comic storage. I assume you do the cardboard thingie and bag. You could maybe put the comics in handy dandy baskets. Almost like drawers. With little labels like:
X-Men 1-eleventy billion
X-Men eleventy-biilion and 1 - twenty brazillion.
Or something.
The short shelves are very appealing, but it looks all shiny and newfangled compared to anything in my apartment.
Then you need all new stuff!
magazine holder are for comics
essays, mixed author shortstories, children's books and humor are in the guest bedroom.
Tech and reference are in the office.
the only thing that is wrong like a wrong thing is the LPs in the office. but they need a spot in LRoom.
TBR books 150- 180 piled haphazardly on my shelves next to the bed
Then you need all new stuff!
Heh. No, I think I've hit my stride with the old dark wood. Love. This is going to be my next book support purchase, I think.
magazine holder are for comics
Way too many comics for that.
My books are reasonably haphazard, and not just because I'm short a bookshelf. Most of the fiction goes in the living room, mixed in with the non-fiction (which predominates by far), stored by author and series. The non-fiction is loosely thematically arranged--weapons here, martial arts there, computer books here. But I have books of all those sorts in the bedroom too.
Ooh, thanks for the link ita, because I'm looking for something like this [link] that was pictured on the same page.
Guess what I've never read, but am going to start reading tomorrow on the bus ride home?
Jane Eyre
Now, I *hated* Wuthering Heights. But I'm going to be reading Jane Eyre with an entirely different mindset: I know it's the book where almost all the Gothic novel clichés come from, and I'm probably going to spend the entire time thinking of it as high parody/black comedy.
The real reason I finally decided to read it, though? Because I got a copy of the version illustrated by Dame Darcy.
Jilli, I have to know what you think of Jane Eyre when you're done. I personally love it. I think it is much different from Wuthering Heights, so I hope hating the latter doesn't ruin your enjoyment of the former.
I saw that in a bookstore the other day, Jilli!
I also think it's very, very different from Wuthering Heights. Although I think I like Wuthering Heights better. So that might mean you love Jane Eyre.
I hated WH but adored Jane Eyre when I was a young teen. Except for what I called the boring part. So I'd just always skip that part.
