Writer's Block: Open book test

[Error: unknown template qotd]

That I have multiple personality disorder?

From where I'm sitting I can see a bible, a Koran, several mythology books, the entire run of Harry Potter books, many old school/well known scifi authors (H.G. Wells, Verne, Heinlein, Brin, Brust, Harry Harrison, Mike Resnick, Pratchett, Burroughs, Douglass Adams, etc), mystery authors (Braun, Penman, Millet, etc), many "classics" of one sort or another- Dracula, Frankenstein, All Quiet on the Western Front, To Kill a Mockingbird, Macbeth, The Prince, The Republic, Don Quixote- also the Sharpe's series by Cornwall, Norton Anthologies, several Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert and FoxTrot cartoons and Marvel Masterworks comics. Oh and cookbooks and craft books. And a bunch of random other things. There's no particular order, although I like to think the Bible being next to 'The Double Helix' was done on purpose.

I solved that with my deeper bookcases by making little stands of wood. I measured boards as long as the interior of the shelf unit and as wide as a paperback book. As tall as a standard hard copy. Then I placed the little "shelf" behind my hard copy books and place paperbacks on them so I have two rows of books on one shelf, the back row elevated above the front. Only works with deep bookshelves, tho. And if the shelf isn't high enough to house a double decker set of books, then just rise the back row high enough to be able to see what they are or stack them on their sides.

Oh, neat idea! We have cheap crappy bookcases, so I don't think that would work though
