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.
My passion rises for storytelling and somehow I've been making a career out of it, from TV now at Intel. Now I'm wising up and reading books about the wonders and techniques. My buddy Mark Ivey turned me on the the Story Factor -- good tips inside!
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. ^_^;

The London Library, founded in 1841, is one of the world's largest independent lending libraries.
Category: English -> Fantasy -> Tolkien.
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 couch was my bed for three nights.) What I love most is the stack of what is apparently all of her books — certainly not something you see in earthquake country! Though maybe she'd do it anyway, if she lived here.

The British Museum's Great Court.
Designed by Foster and Partners, engineered by Buro Happold and built by Waagner-Biro.
The first step in the recreation of the Great Court was the demolition of the undistinguished post-war buildings that served as bookstacks around the drum of the Reading Room. The southern portico, which was demolished to enlarge the Museum’s entrance hall in the 1870s, has been reinstated to a new design.
To allow the Great Court to be used no matter what the weather, it is covered with an undulating glazed roof. It has no visible supports to detract from the restoration of the classical facades around it. Instead it spans the gap between the facades and the drum of the Reading Room as a self-supporting structure.
The undulating, minimal steel latticework supports 3,312 unique triangular glass panels. Each one is different in size and shape because of the roof’s complex geometric form, which results from the fact that the Reading Room is not exactly in the centre of the Great Court, but is 5 metres closer to the northern portico. A specially written computer programme was required to work out the exact dimensions and angles of each panel, each of which has been sponsored by an individual or company.

Supplementing the sustainable measures noted on the exterior image, the form of the building admits ample daylight while blocking the majority of direct sunlight. The lower Children’s bookstacks are all mobile for easy reconfiguration.
