Here's a few of my shelves. Most of these books are mine, a few are my wife's. Ownership should be readily apparent with most of these titles. :shifty:

5 Gazzilion points to the person who correctly guesses my favourite book (and I don't mean favourite story, but actual physical book).

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Fantastic collections! I'm always tickled to see others who have a "... for Dummies" book or two on their shelves. I admit to owning at least three of them. :tup:






*meh* They're good books! :dono:

Bump!

I was just glancing across the bookshelves in the dining room when I spotted the rather fun indices ...
