APAD(ish) #28: Bookshelves

[nonelvis]

You can tell I'm getting desperate for photos now, because I've been reduced to photographing the geekiest bookshelves in the house. (In my defense, it's been pouring outside all day, so I couldn't go shoot what I'd planned to.)

Not like anyone who knows me or columbina needs further proof of this household's geek cred, but here it is anyway:



Included on these shelves:

• a ridiculous number of Marvel and DC comics collections, including an entire shelf of virtually nothing but X-Men books
  
• a ridiculous number of other graphic novels: all the Sandman books, a whole bunch of Kyle Baker, the complete run of Cerebus (I KNOW, I KNOW, Dave Sim is a sexist pig and a monumental asshole, but at some point I do want to see how the story ends), Keith Knight collections, more Dykes to Watch Out For books than I can count ...
  
• just out of camera range, all our Tintin, Lucky Luke, and Asterix books, many in French
  
• ... and of course, the plush 20-sided die.

I would like to note that all the Marvel comics and all the Dave Sim are hers, and if we put them to the torch, we would have at least two more shelves of book space!

Also, bonus points to people who find the plush armadillo peeking its head out on one of the shelves.

The Abominable Snow Monster was one of a set of several low-cost plush toys from that show - you could also get Yukon Cornelius, Hermey, Rudoph, Burl IvesSam the Snowman, and Santa Claus - but I am damned if I remember what five-and-dime or gas station endcap or some such where I got it.

I suppose if we put all the Dave Sim out on the curb under the grounds that it's Dave Sim and who gives a shit, that would give me room to start storing the Transmetropolitan collection ... and the X-Treme X-Men books can also hit the curb, under the grounds that they just plain suck.

(Before we get rid of Cerebus, though, we might want to photocopy the page with Keef and the quote about how he plans to spend his half of the money.)
