  1. I have a bookshelf in my room. A bookshelf is supposed to hold this much. So strong is my bookshelf. I am so amazed. I wish I could speak to my bookshelf. Reward it for it’s silent revelry. I have a bookshelf in my room. What a bookshelf it is. Fill it up, stuffing its gaping arms with a never ending to do list of ideas. What a bookshelf. I am this bookshelf.

  3. It was in the bookshelf. The book, his diary with all the secrets in it. All his confessions and hidden desires. It was all in there. Everything, captivated into that small black book, marked in with mystic little letters and sly symbols.

  5. the books lean and tilt against each other
    some caked in dust, others half bent out of shape

    a picture frame

  6. IT HOLDS LOTS OF BOOKS AND THEY ARE REALLY USEFUL BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF BOOKS. BUT NOT AS NAMY AS MY FRIEND ZOE. SHE HAS HUNDREDS OF BOOKS. THEY ARE IN HER TIOLET, HER DINING ROOM, HER BEDROOM AND EVERY AVAILABLE SHELF. SHE COULD REALLY DO WITH HAVING A BOOK SHELF! I GUESS I DONT NEED ONE THAT MUCH.

  10. The day I got lost in the library, it was Aunt Madge’s birthday and we all had to get her a book about poison because she demanded that she would get some poems about poison because she wanted to learn how to take over her enemies. Not like she had any. Well, there I was, in the library, and suddenly I couldn’t find the way out.

  11. Once, when I was young, I was at the foot of my antiquated bookshelf. It smelled a pungent smell, one of yellow pages and dying literature. Its twisting, knotted wood curled and shaped into increasingly bizarre forms.

  12. Behind the thousands of books in the library is another world. The normal people don’t notice. But, I pulled out one book one day and i could see something strange behind it. I took out more books and I could see a door. Ever since I’ve gone in that door, nothing has ever been the same.

  14. A place where you can keep all your books and treasures, including photos of amazing memories in the past and classical novels by Hemingway, Shakespeare and others. My bookshelf at home is in the shape of a canoe and my dad built it for me, which makes it even more of an amazing piece in my house.

  15. My bookshelf is filled with old books from when I was a little girl who conformed to everything. I hate that old self. But it wasn’t me. My little girl self was my parents, other girls in my class, and other people crammed into one person. Now I know who I am and I’m proud.

  16. On the top of the book shelf in the very back where the wall meets the wood lay a dusty, dark and very old thing which no one has seen or thought of years. How did it get there? How long has it been there? What is it? And Is it even there at all?

  17. Bookshelves are used to hold books that people are not reading. However bookshelves serve several other functions as well, including a place to put pictures, vases of flowers, or maybe even a candle.

  18. i’m completely unable to live anywhere without my books. I do not have any comfort level without books. bookshelves are the cornerstone of every home. I moved into an apartment once, without bookshelves. I left that city three months later after total abandonment. It was because I didn’t give my books a home, so they cursed me until once again i found them shelves.

  19. In the back room of my study sits a bookshelf. It contains many diverse works. My favorite are the classics Little Women, Christy, and many more. My bookshelf is a cherished place in my house an altar if you will. It is an adventure onto itself, by cracking open a book you can explore many wondrous places without even leaving the comfort of your own home.

  25. I clicked this link on twitter because I saw it on my home-page because I follow Brian Purcell. It took me about 5 seconds to realize the purpose of this but I think now I have the hang of it. Kind of cool. Hopefully not arbitrary, but nonetheless I am enjoying it thoroughly. It’s scary to know that if this was a life or death situation right now I would probably fail on account of the fact that I don’t really know what I’m supposed to say. Well I only have about 6 or 7 seconds left so I guess it’s time to say goodbye. Thanks for listening, and as always, have nice day.

  26. Where I used to put books. Takes up too much room in den; therefore, got rid of it and put most of my books in laptop electronically. Not a fashion statement anymore, just practicality. I do miss my bookshelf though, it is now in my pantry holding my baking and dry goods…oh well, poor bookshelf.

  29. Bookshelves see the eternal. The pages unraveling and twisting. Yellowing pages with age, but never losing life. They are eternal too. They see the lies, the songs the butterflies. They are a servant to the eternal, a child of the eternal. Bookshelves are alive.

  30. There was a dead fly on the bookshelf; passively existing as life moved around it. Passers by barely even noticed it, acknowledged it or cared that it was there.But it existed and continued to exist; a testament to a life, small and fleeting, but a life all the same.

    Kindle: “Yes my love.”

  35. When I was six, I lived in a double-wide trailor in Harlan. We had this huge bookshelf that was connected to a corner next to our bathroom. I was feeling jumpy and decided to climb up it. When I reached the top, I fell completely backwards and did a belly buster on my back. That’s when I had my first concussion.

  36. I have three bookshelves back at home and only one shelf here at Elon. I love having all my books and dvd there on my shelf, because it holds endless options that I can choose from. the on I have at college is small and doesn’t provide much to look at/choices to read. I miss my bookshelf at home.
