I don’t have a huge collection of science fiction books, but I hope to some day. I think it would be awesome to have one of those massive wooden bookshelves built into the walls with a ladder completely filled with science fiction books I’ve read or plan to read. Perhaps some day.

I’d also really enjoy owning one of those models of the Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop. Which happens to be the icon for this community. So darn expensive though.

At any rate I’d love to see some bookshelves and collections. Even if your collection is just a handful of books on a floor.

    I’ve been toying with the idea of a heavier wooden bookshelf complete with scrolling ladder and a little reading/resting pad on top. Like a bunk bed bookshelf.

    I have a ways to go to be able to fill it due to moving a few times but on the other hand there’s at least three regular sized full bookcases in public libraries thanks to me, which feels pretty good.

    I try so hard not to accumulate books, heavy library user, and have an e-reader (and like it) yet somehow

      Sounds reasonable. I hope to not accumulate books to a point where it becomes unsightly. If it can’t be displayed neatly then I’m not going to. I tend to read things digitally first and if I really like the book then I buy it. Some books I just have from the past already though.

    You’re doing fine so far. Actually, less is more given that you will probably move from place to place and need to take it with you.

    I’m a huge fan of the ikea ivar system, though it’s not as adaptable since they stopped making things like the corners and the wide to narrow adaptor bar.
