She doesn't care how many people she gets to an event. She does it because she loves it. And she is a great act to follow...

Even though the Pratchett stack is bigger, I have more Clarke books, because there's half a dozen again in the "German" stack.
Most of my books are going into storage. To remind me what I own, I'm taking pictures and sorting them by categories to make it easier to find the right box later.

The Great Court of the British Museum, London with its fabulous ceiling.
In the original Robert Smirke design the courtyard was meant to be a garden. However, in 1852–7 the Reading Room and a number of bookstacks were built in the courtyard to house the library department of the Museum and the space was lost.
In 1997, the Museum’s library department was relocated to the new British Library building in St Pancras and there was an opportunity to re-open the space to public.
An architectural competition was launched to re-design the courtyard space. There were over 130 entries and it was eventually won by Lord Foster.
al got all these books from the library today. you can see her interests are nerdy. greenly thinks he looks stoic.
These books are some of the latest I've been reading through for Dr. Powell's 'Research Methods and Bibliography' class. It's really easy, and I don't have to read the entire book each time they are assigned; however, the book by Hart here is excellent and I wish I had time to finish it. I'm looking forward to digging into the 'Postmodern Bible' next week.
- Invitation to Theology: A Guide to Study, Conversation, and Practice, by Michael Jinkins
- Faith Thinking: The Dynamics of Christian Theology, by Trevor Hart
- The Postmodern Bible, by The Bible and Culture Collective (many peeps)
Second bookstack after the first one has been cleaned up. The books are the only thing holding this stack up.
Some of the bookstacks in the library. I believe these were shelves of goverment docs and other materials, with shelves that could be moved at the push of a button.

Another "I haven't got a shot today" moment so another from in the house!
Some of my books on a book stack - an interesting piece of metal furniture from France. Why go sideways when you can go up!!
I won a prize today in Times Online's RSPB Love Nature Competition. The prize was - a book! Still, nice to get the recognition of being "highly commended" Yay!!

This is just one of the stacks of books by my bed. I've run out of space for my manga. I think it's a good thing that I have a Nook because my non-manga books would be piled up on the floor as well. It's not a bad addiction - reading. But it tends to take up space. ^_^;

Sterling Memorial Library (SML) is the main library building of the Yale University Library system in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. Opened in 1931, the library was designed by James Gamble Rogers as the centerpiece of Yale's Gothic Revival campus. The library's tower has sixteen levels of bookstacks containing over 4 million volumes. Several special collections—including the university's Manuscripts & Archives—are also housed in the building. It connects via tunnel to the underground Bass Library, which holds an additional 150,000 volumes.
The library is named for John W. Sterling, a lawyer representing Standard Oil, whose huge bequest to Yale required that an "enduring, useful and architecturally beautiful edifice" be built. Sterling Library is elaborately ornamented, featuring extensive sculpture and painting as well as hundreds of panes of stained glass created by G. Owen Bonawit. In addition to the book tower, Rogers' design featured five large reading rooms and two courtyards, one of which is now a music library.
