>Now, how many Stephen King novels would *I* need to stand on in order to reach the top shelf?

I would estimate around 22.

Kirsty Alsop would take one look at this and tell you it has to go. Apparently books put off buyers. To me a house without books is a grim place. Cats love book shelves too! It looks fantastic, Alec. Now, how many Stephen King novels would *I* need to stand on in order to reach the top shelf?

Hey, we built a whole extension because we had too many books! Granted our bookshelves are mostly smaller, but more numerous!

Looking forward to seeing it.

The Eagle ( ee cummings)

It was one of those clear,sharp.mustless days
That summer and man delight in.
Never had Heaven seemed quite so high,
Never had earth seemed quite so green,
Never had the world seemed quite so clean
Or sky so nigh.
And I heard the Deity’s voice in
The sun’s warm rays,
And the white cloud’s intricate maze,
And the blue sky’s beautiful sheen.

Also jealous, and from my experience (of getting a quote) that won’t have been cheap. But I’m sure it will be excellent.

You can never have too many bookshelves, nor books to put on them.

I’m jealous! There is really no such thing as too many bookcases.

Mankind has been governed like this since the beginning of time, especially religion.

Alec,

on all that books and courses that people can read or take part, there is a final book that believe it or not, a guy from the UK wrote: John C. Parkin, called “F***-it”, in germany its official title on the book is “Fuck-IT”. Really worth a read and smile. John went through tons of books and million courses and trillion religions, and finally found the easy way:

Well, just as well you are NOT doing your own Alpha Course…

Alec, have you read the short story collection “Sum” by David Eagleman? I think you’d like it. Would perhaps make a good textbook for the Alpha course. But limit yourself to no more than one story per day for optimal brain workout.

A tautology for sure … as on each occasion, it does taste yet better than the last
