Robin’s Bookshelves

I've always been interested in other people's bookshelves, being a book-lover myself. Looking at another person's books is a little like looking into a corner of their mind. What are we but the results of our experiences, and what are books but experiences? But in the age of digital reading, our bookshelves are only tiny, pixelled type on tiny, private screens. E-books have their advantages, but scrolling through someone's folder of e-books just isn't the same as snooping in their bookshelves.
 
So if you're curious, I'd like to share with you some of my book collection. I photographed my shelves as-is with my iPhone. It's incomplete — there are whole bookcases I haven't photographed, and of course over the years some of my books have been passed on to others. But have a look around! If you have any questions (e.g., is that a flask?) or book recommendations, do get in touch.
