Bookshelf photos

Inspired by (or just ripped from) Keith Robinson’s article What’s On Your Bookshelf?, I’m opening some parts of my bookshelves to general public. As a bibliophile, I’d like to know what you have in your literature shelves (if any).

Please follow these simple steps:

• Take a photo of one shelf from your bookcase that contains literature, not academic or work related books.
• Create a 430px wide image that is no taller than 200px. Save it with suitable quality that saves bandwidth but doesn’t destroy the titles into illegible jitter.
• Upload it to your own site and post a comment here with reference to the image. Write the image url between exclamation marks (!http://www.example.com/images/shelf.jpg!) to attach it to the comment.

I do have a sizeable collection of literature. Here are glimpses of two shelves (sort of classic and contemporary fiction sections), I have 28 more and the book count is increasing steadily…
