I have a LOT of books! In fact, alot more than is shown here and more than the space I have to put them in. I have at least five bins (you know, those Rubbermaid boxes) full of books.

The thing is, I can't throw any of them away. I just can't. So even if I'll never read them again, I keep them, just in case...

Yes, I guess you can say I'm crazy... and my husband is worse than I am! We make such a good pair :D!

Ah, books! I love books. I understand completely about your not being able to get rid of them. I really like the angle you used with the second picture. It makes it feel as though those heavy books are tipping the case over.

Nice POV on the cases. My wife just joined an online community where they trade books back and forth via the mail.

I love books too. It looks like we have some of the same ones! I like the angle of the blue book case.

i dont think you can ever have too many books ..
i wish i could see some of the titles better in your image .. and is this your home? .. it looks like a library !!!
my other passion along with photography/photoshop is reading ... i just finished a book by jodi picoult called keeping the faith .. i picked the book out at borders which is a bookshop/video place at our local mall .. i chose the book firstly because of the jacket cover .. then i read a bit inside .. i bought another book by the same author as well .. keeping the faith was an excellent story .. i read it quite quickly .. you know, one of those stories that you just have to know wot happens next ..

talking about stories ..
i'd recommend another one, altho its a video ..
called the pursuit of happiness with will smith playing the lead .. BRILLIANT .. a wonderful true and inspirational story ..
