"A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen in your soul." Franz Kafka I repeat, there are few things lovelier than a shelf full of books. Pics via the Selby
oh my....a girl after my own heart. i adore shelves of books, when i get my own place i plan to have bookshelves everywhere. theres something so beautiful about a pile of books or row of books
do you prfer to stack your books or to put them in a nice orderly row. Ever since I heard that rodarte have a colour co-ordinated bookshelf I've been colour coding everything cds, books, wardrobe. its great fun. Also, Tracey Emin - Strangeland is a great read. very emotional
So I think you should share your favorite books and what you're currently reading. Did you ever finish War and Peace (I remember you reading that like last year or something!)
I like how some of the book owners have placed little knickknacks on the bit of shelf that juts out past the books. I do the exact same thing on my bookcase.
Great post. I'm quite a book nerd myself, which I guess fueled my major as English. I'm currently reading Pride&Prejudice. A good book is always in style.
ah bookshelves great for doo-dads and useless little figurines and books of course makes me want to go to the library and rent a wagon load for summer reading
I absolutely adore books. My bookshelves are starting to get too full and I can't bear to part with any of my books, so I think I'll have a buy a new one.
Oh lovely photos! I always tend to pass on my books when I'm done due to lack of space but this looks so cool. And yes, Dracula is the ultimate foreboding Vampire!
I love looking at other people's book shelves! My sister has all of her books arranged by color. Also, at estate sales, you can look at a person's book collection and make guesses about their personality.
I LOVE these. I love shelves of books. they are awesome ;) I would love to have like... an entire room full of books with ladders leading up to more! a girl can dream can't she? hahas
It's so sad because half of the books in my book case and in others among the house, I haven't even read yet and that's all because of school. We have to read six English, four Dutch, three French and three German books in one year (every language one in six weeks!) which leaves only so much bedtime for books I actually want to read..
ooh, this is like literary heaven! i have way too many (but never enough) books and every time i change continents (which i've been doing pretty much every other year recently)i pay crazy amounts of shipping to get them to the next destination.
these images are beuatiful. books are one of the things in life, I bought two yesterday, it's just too bad they're a little expensive, or else I'd buy more! x
Yes, yes, yes and even more yes. I so need to buy some more shelves actually, I have piles of books on every surface of my room at the moment, and no shelf space for them!
oh, I love these pictures. I've been renewing my love in reading for fun this summer because there is much downtime at work and bringing a book, or two, is just right :)
Oh, you have the elephant cup! I had the elephant cup when I was little, and my brother had the alligator. A few years ago I found a set with the alligator, a lion and a giraffe. No elephant though! I like the display with the Little Golden Book and other toys; I may have to steal the idea.

Love books, finally finding the time to read them now!
I'm very intrigued by the X-rated Adult Movie Posters book :P
i should give you a gold star for having Bob Dylan Chronicles on your bookshelf.
Lovely pictures! A few of them look just like my little library section, super crammed with books! ^-^

I literally sighed aloud when I saw the first picture. I agree that there are few things more glorious than a shelf of beautiful books.
So I think you should share your favorite books and what you're currently reading. Did you ever finish War and Peace (I remember you reading that like last year or something!)
Ooh I definitely agree!
I like how some of the book owners have placed little knickknacks on the bit of shelf that juts out past the books. I do the exact same thing on my bookcase.
Oh girl, I know exactly what you mean.
oh, the romance of books... (:

Really beautiful pics!
And... today I saw here in my village a girl that was exact to you!
It was really weird... haha
XOXO
I absolutely adore books. My bookshelves are starting to get too full and I can't bear to part with any of my books, so I think I'll have a buy a new one.
I agree completely, and down with the damn Kindle.
They're all amazing, but that last one is my favorite, despite the fact that the bottom shelf is not books but DVDs.
Beautiful quote!
Wonderful photos. I especially like the toys placed around them. :)
that quote is pretty serious business ;)
I love these bookshelf posts. fascinating.
I agree with the above comments - what have you been reading lately?
Oh lovely photos! I always tend to pass on my books when I'm done due to lack of space but this looks so cool. And yes, Dracula is the ultimate foreboding Vampire!
So cool hahaha my family loves the Joy of Cooking! I wish I was more motivated to use it when I was there!
Your pictures are beautiful!! I see some interesting books. I love to read too!
Ahh, books, books, books. I need more books.
I wish my bookshelf was all matching colour combinations like these.
I love looking at other people's book shelves! My sister has all of her books arranged by color. Also, at estate sales, you can look at a person's book collection and make guesses about their personality.
i love to read. books are my good friends.
Oh I know what you mean. Which reminds me that I have a summer reading list at least that high.
BTW, in that first picture, where is that bird painting from? It's amazing.
my heart beat a little faster when i saw these photos :)
my, do i love me some book porn! <3
I love bookshelves, I wish I had one in my room. Instead I keep them all in a shelf in my closet.
belle
Agreed, do you have a favorite book, author or srie? Do you have any suggestions?
XOXOXO

I'm a big reader. Do you know Siri Hutsved, she is one of my favorites autor. I have read tree of her books in two weeks!
I began to read in english (I speak french) it's quite hard but i try.
I LOVE these. I love shelves of books. they are awesome ;) I would love to have like... an entire room full of books with ladders leading up to more! a girl can dream can't she? hahas
I love all these books !!
I have a ton of books and I just can't part with any of them... not even old textbooks...
Oooh...Books!(=Love)
My dream is owning a huuuuge room filled with books, like in the Beauty and the Beast. Yea.
that was so lovely, i gasped out loud.
wow, there is a lot of book there.
gorgeous photographs, though.

It's always interesting to see how other people store their books--a window into their mind, sort of. I love all of these!
I wholeheartedly agree. I just got a bookshelf and had tons of fun arranging the books in it.
The ones you featured are just gorgoues!
Awesomeness!
It's so sad because half of the books in my book case and in others among the house, I haven't even read yet and that's all because of school. We have to read six English, four Dutch, three French and three German books in one year (every language one in six weeks!) which leaves only so much bedtime for books I actually want to read..
Love books and these has made my day!
Thanks for posting.
Oh I love books. The post is just great. Love it. :D Thank you so much :)
Looks as messy as my shelves! Haha. What are you reading at the moment?
I love inspecting people's book shelves. I think they say so much about the person!
gorgeous
I so love overly crowded bookshelves. I just love the thought of so many new things waiting to be discovered on such a tiny shelf!
ooh, this is like literary heaven! i have way too many (but never enough) books and every time i change continents (which i've been doing pretty much every other year recently)i pay crazy amounts of shipping to get them to the next destination.
these images are beuatiful. books are one of the things in life, I bought two yesterday, it's just too bad they're a little expensive, or else I'd buy more!

I love books! I never throw any away. I have them everywhere. Such an addiction!
My sentiments exactly. =) Books are probably the best decoration for any room.
Yes, yes, yes and even more yes. I so need to buy some more shelves actually, I have piles of books on every surface of my room at the moment, and no shelf space for them!
Cool pictures!
oh, I love these pictures. I've been renewing my love in reading for fun this summer because there is much downtime at work and bringing a book, or two, is just right :)
oh that quote is so true. i love my bookshelf. when i have my own place i want a whole library in it.
i adore looking at bookshelves.. its also been a sort of hobby of mine to save images of bookshelves.
Bookshelves are each an act of art. :0)
Oh, you have the elephant cup! I had the elephant cup when I was little, and my brother had the alligator. A few years ago I found a set with the alligator, a lion and a giraffe. No elephant though! I like the display with the Little Golden Book and other toys; I may have to steal the idea.
