Show us your bookshelves.
StupidityKills:
Dude, Gormenghast was hard work. It was a real slog to stay interested when its pages and pages of nothing but Titus sat in a lesson daydreaming.
also note the Gormenghast DVD which is excellent.
Inlander:
But . . . but . . . but the T.V. series was all bright colours and sunshine and lollipops! Well, maybe not lollipops. When Gormenghast is meant to be all gloomy and mouldering and crumbling and full of old crones and hags and completely absurd and rococco because of all that and and and and . . .
And the books were so awesome! And the T.V. show was so bad!

Quoted for gospel.
I took heaps of photos of my (copious) shelves, but I realised that the (phone) camera was terrible and you can't read any of the titles. So I'l get something up as soon as I can get a good snapshot.
messynessie:
i wish i could post a pic of my bookshel but with all the moving around i've been doing the past few years most of my collection is in my sisters attic in boxes :(
KharBevNor:
Gotta say this for the TV series though: Steerpike was BAD ASS.
Bookshelves you say?
Dust and audiobooks!
A few more audiobooks and some other random things.
A mess of manuals and similiar documents
One over, at the top of the vaguely paranoid shelves
Since we are appreciating fluffiness, this was just out of shot in the last one, say hello to (left to right) Capy Guevara, Pudgachu and Horatio E Hedgehog.
There's a few shelves filled with completely random crap (crocodile skulls, buddhas, dragon statuettes, TARDIS moneyboxes etc.) then these two shelves
And now the main stack:
If we're piqued by Peake, the three books of the Gormenghast trilogy are on the bottom shelf in this picture, between the Mastermind quiz book and the complete Genevieve the Vampire omnibus. The top shelf is almost completely Pratchett: everything he's ever written bar a few awkwardly shaped books stuffed elsewhere and some stuff I'm lending to my girlfriend, who is woefully under-educated in the ways of the Disc.
Please note White Dwarf collection and full Akira manga on bottom shelves. I'm more nerdy than you can EVER be!
Some more random manga and antiquated programming manuals crammed in next to part of my CD collection.
Stack of more manga, playscripts and york notes, some sci-fi short omnibuses and all the Iain Banks stuff not on the vaguely paranoid shelves.
More books!
Last few random volumes propped up against a statuette of Darth Maul that once held chocolates.
This is my personal collection, by the way, which is why it contains so much pulp and trash. There's another 3000 or so books in the study, my parents bedroom, the spare room, the sitting room and the bath room that includes all the more worthy stuff.
