“The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.”

Unfortunately I recently packed up almost all of our books and moved them into the garage to make space. Maybe I'll go out there and shoot a couple of pictures. These are pretty neat though.
Browse the bookshelves of strangers and friends. Add yours to the collection.
Be sure to click on the photos to peruse a little closer.
If you would like to expose yourshelf, here are the rules.
the bookshelf
The bookshelf displays only a slight sliver of time and place at any given moment, and allows the observer only a few inferences about us. It reveals both the content and the structure of our lives simultaneously. Who we are. What we think. How we organize, if at all. It contains books, yes, but also memories and outrage, tears and photos, secrets and flummery. The bookshelf may seem permanent and timeless, but unless you are a stagnant human being, your library has mutated over the course of your lifetime. People change. So do their bookshelves.
Share this site on your blog, grab a photo if you want, and let me know about it. I'll make a link to your post, and you can be a member of the expose yourshelf book club!

Hey-one of those books is mine! :-) I could just see the end of it that says "Spirited Child." No worries-read it first.....
Click on any of J and J's photos for serious perusal, peeling paint and all. Nice! The bigger the photo, the better.
I have a theory that one out of every ten people own a copy of the Sivananda Companion to Yoga.
I like being able to see the books up close and personal.
