old school's good ! ... you can leave all those books to your grand children ..... that's what i intend to do wth mine ....Originally posted by Gedanken:It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Let's face it, when you mention "my library", this:
is a helluva lot more impressive than:
I get the news on my PDA, but I gave up on e-books because there's just not enough space on the screen. Besides, I like the feel of the good old-fashioned book.
Then again, I like automatic watches, fountain pens and cars without ABS. I'm just old-school.

Nah, unfortuantely my collection's only half the size of that.Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:Woah.. Ged, is that your home library? I'm impressed!

Say, when I finally get my own home, I think my collection of cookbooks might probably occupy more than 1/2 that space.
I love the way that library looks! Can't wait to have my very own library! -

That's what I'm going to do with my bachelorette pad too!Originally posted by laurence82:u noe ,when i really get my own bachelor's pad, i am going to dedicate one room to study and library...nuthing but books... FInally, a place for all my books, no more living in boxes for my poor, long-suffering books!
I still feel soooo sad that years ago, when I moved house, I had to give away so many books due to space constraints. -
Y'know, hardcovers just look sooo impressive in a library like this - they just stand out and are so distinguishable!

x2...Originally posted by TehJarVu:i don't like to read books online, scroll scroll scroll, spoil my eyes.
my eyes will be tired if i were to read online....
furthermore, reading online means i can't read on my bed... -
I'd still prefer books. It's a whole sensory experience thing, looking at the cover art, the font, the feel of the pages. I'd miss holding a book too. My eyes don't feel comfortable staring at a screen for too long a time.

The irony of using a digital photograph to illustrate the point, sepia-toned though it may be, is not lost upon me! -
Leatherbound hardcovers are da shizzle to mah nizzle!Originally posted by Rhonda:Y'know, hardcovers just look sooo impressive in a library like this - they just stand out and are so distinguishable! -
Yeah, man!Originally posted by Gedanken:Leatherbound hardcovers are da shizzle to mah nizzle!
A lot of my hardcovers aren't leatherbound though. My cookbooks, my nursing textbooks, my reference books...
They'll still look handsome though!
Wah... I think my bachelorette pad had better have lotsa storage! -
Worry not, lass - even something as simple as IKEA's Billy bookcases ought to do the job admirably.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wah... I think my bachelorette pad had better have lotsa storage!
