*pokes around IKEA and Argos websites* According to my calculations, I need about nine metres of shelf space. Nine metres. I have way too many books, yes. This is allowing some space for future purchases, but then, that extra space will be used up soon, as well. I have way too many books. *blinks*

Can't have too many books. Nonsense. Pile 'em up, rope 'em in.

I suspect I'm going to have to. Picking up the bookcases (and a DVD thing) from Argos tonight. Meep.

It's not as much fun, but if bookcase space is short, you can always box up some of the books and make a big stack of boxes.

I think I'll have enough space now to put everything and expand a little bit still, and after that I do need to do a bit of weeding, I think. At least to put some stuff in boxes, if not to sell/give away.

Or I could just put the cookbooks in the kitchen somewhere. That'll free up a bunch of space as well. (I have way too many cookbooks. -_-)

I WANT MORE BOOKS.

What's your address?

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Aww, heh, while I appreciate the thought, I think shipping would cost a bit too much to be worth sending any; I'm in Israel. And I have some books, and I can afford more, it's the reading that's the problem.

You're nice :)

Ask a stranger on a public internet forum for their address, get a silly answer :P

Here, have some time to read :

Is no silly; all true :)

[wild-boys.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes. I know. I mostly meant that mine was a silly question, never fear :)

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I still thing it was sweet.

I have approximately 36 feet of shelves, and there are still some books not on them.

I blame you for my sudden proliferation of books. Also, the fact that clearly, my books are breeding.

When we moved here (and moved in together) we started with two simple book cases (Ikea, very cheap and very nice. Hell to put together, obviously). Of course my uni books weren't included in that, and we could fit all our DVDs on the shelves we had left over.
I think we even had room for a Severus Snape figurine!
Three months later we had to buy dvd case (the size of a book case) for the DVDs. Both books and DVDs were expanding too much :-). But hey, I could fit my "best" videos on the shelves left over from the DVD case... (don't ask, I have dozens of videos with tv shows, films and stuff I taped as a teenager. I think there might be an "MTV's European top 20 presented by Take That" in there somewhere... I am never giving them up, though most of them are in curver boxes in our study. Melissa did allow me to put the "best" "queer film"-videos in the DVD case. At the bottom)

Two months later and I fear the "best" "queer film"-videos will be doomed soon... I want a new shelving system!

Moral of the story? You can never ever have enough shelving when you're a book/dvd-aholic!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

The problem is, I'm a book/DVD-aholic with a smallish flat and a big-ass desk, so I don't have a lot of room for shelf space. *eyes growing stack of books nervously*

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

above the big-ass desk?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Can't hang up shelves in a rental flat, unfortunately. :(
