When you love books as much as I do and I’m pretty sure I’ve made it clear in my previous posts. Due to my love I endeavour to provide a haven for such literature in my possession.
Building a book case/home library in my situation is the choice I need to be making. If I did have the choice I would live in a library, surrounded by books-it’s my ultimate fantasy just coming home for a good book-I’d be booking all night long to be followed by a quick book in the morning-makes me feel lighter on my feet all day.
I shall not despair as I’ll only need some wood and power tools to accomplish my dream in my own home.
Ill start slow and hopefully when I’ve built enough my house will look like a library. In order to do so; the materials required are lots of flat MDF, plenty of small 90 degree brackets, and power tools.
When you have these items you can begin building away a haven for your books. Take the largest piece of wood and build it up so it looks like the shape an oblong bath. Now its time to cut the shelves out, these should be about the length of the top.
Make as many shelves as you like-turn it to face you and presto-you got a book shelf.

Love for books? Well I’ve got a love for note books, iBooks, eBooks, books in general-I love them-just can’t get enough of them.
Are you familiar with the dance track released in the 90’s titled “I Can’t get enough”-well she sounded passionate about not having enough-I can relate to that in the sense of I can’t get enough books.
I have constant nightmares remembering scenes from the film “The Day After Tomorrow” starring Dennis Quaid- where the son of the geologist has to burn books to stay alive. This shocked me-I contemplated writing a letter to Warner Brothers iterating my distress to this scene-it was completely uncalled for.
Now I’ve conveyed my opinion on loving all books in different formats, shapes and sizes. You could understand the pain and suffering I’d have to endure if I were reading the 4th Edition of Macro-Economics in the under developed Botswana in e-book format on my laptop, suddenly the battery runs flat and charging it lasts about enough time to log in then its requesting I charge it again.
It’s time for a new battery-bring in the pro’s where do you find Battery Suppliers for one of my laptops, I swear it’s older than the 1st Edition of the Old Testament originally hand written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Looking no further, when I found this place they managed to source exactly what I needed-quicktime. I’d suggest you take a look……. when you’re not reading a book!

What more can I say, I smoke about ten cigarettes a day but never in the house! My wife would come into the room faster than Usain Bolt (not showboating but golf-club swinging) for lighting up a soldier of death marching slowly toward my lips, even when, clearly enough on the packet in bold black and white it states they are in fact-trying to kill you.
But wait,…. for all of you out there who thought Usain will give you a moss-side makeover for smoking in places where it is prohibited, there’s hope and in comes in the form of ecigarettes.
I love books, and the more I think about it, I love smoking too. Let’s bring them together!
For those of you who are thinking about smoking books-I wouldn’t as there are several factors which could negate the possibility of the book actually getting read in this articulate smoking scenario.
These ecigarettes are electronic, there’s no actual smoke (as a result of burning) or bad odour, and they don’t harm you. They do provide you with the same sensation that you are smoking and they work for me. The replacement electrical marvel of an invention worthy of winning a Nobel-prize smoking device, looks like a cigarette. You even use it like a cigarette, they taste like a cigarette, they are actually healthier than standard cigarettes.
For all you readers who indulge in a spot of smoking and reading-get one bought, get some literature, good times.
