Your Bookshelf, Your Identity

I think that what people have on their bookshelves can tell you a great deal about what kind of person they are. After all those are the books that they decided to buy and the ones they read, meaning they learned something or were influenced by the books. I have found some photos of bookshelves that I truly enjoy. Here is my bookshelf below.

My Books

So, I went ahead and created a Flickr Group so that everybody may add there photos and we can see each other bookshelves. Now, I do know that there are other groups out there, but this is different. This is all about taking a nice photo and being able to read the title of the books. In other groups there are angled shots of huge bookshelves and shots of individual book covers. Instead it would be great if you followed this guidelines

Please take the photo directly in front of the bookshelf. No angle shots.
Please also make sure that you are zoomed in far enough to see the titles.
If you have a huge bookshelf zoom in on your favorite section.
You may also just zoom in on the spines so that we don’t see your shelves/shelf at all.

I look forward to seeing what people contribute to the group.
Thanks and enjoy.

    Ethan,

    I tried to send you a copy of my bookshelf picture but couldn’t get it to work.

    Great idea!

    Ethan,

    Don’t know if you realized but a few of us have taken up the bookshelf challenge!

    Thanks for the idea!
