Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

A look at the bookshelves
Here are some pictures I took today of the bookshelves here. Fascinating things, bookshelves, it tells a lot about a person or a household if you take a look at them. I don't have many books here, if you compare to what I had in Montreal where I had loads of bookshelves, but it is still good, especially since I will slowly get back at least the essential books from Montreal, which are stashed at my parent's house. All in all, with what I gained through my studies (I was never keen on borrowing books, so I bought loads) and my hobbies, I probably have enough for a small local library. That said, the collection I have here is not bad at all. It is, however, a bit messy, as there is not nearly enough room on the small bookshelves for my already growing collection. Most of them have been read already, and there are quite a few that belong to my wife. You can probably notice the Anthony Burgess books (of course) and many, many crime novels.
Books are some of the best friends... Always there and usually never disappointing.. I liked seeing yours...
ReplyDeleteI always feel somewhat sad when I go into a house with no bookshelves.. something missing!
