There is a process. Previously, the bookcases on the right (lower 4 shelves) of the picture held my trade1st editions in alphabetical order, aside from the DT series leading off. When a new noverl came out, shifting was required. Contemplating, but, unlikely, organizing them by publication date, that way stuff is added at the end.

Either way, the book collector rule/axiom is that empty shelves are soon filled.

I've had these in a box for quite some time. Nice to toss them up on a wall.

These look really cool. Can you explain what they are? I've never seen these before.

Those are nice, just recently tossed mine on the wall above my bookcase. Pictures to come soon
Also spoke with Rachel this week she is fine and busy, which is a good thing.

Really wanting to eliminate the need for cable TV. Paying way too much for crap I don't watch. What would you guys recommend for streaming/alterative services? My basic TV needs are local channels, AMC, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, FX, HBO, Showtime, NBCSN, CW, TNT, and USA. Pretty much the only sport I watch is NASCAR. I'd like to have the ability to DVR shows as I'm out of town a lot. Or is there no need for DVR with streaming? I don't have any experience with streaming/alterative TV services. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you don't have any morals, I know a guy who sells "borrowed" log in details to serviceslike Xfinity/Direct Tv...

I do mine by Genre ( since I have a lot more than just King) then alphabetical by author in order of publication. SO in Horror it would be Cronin, Herbert, Hill, King (Carrie through Gwendy). Still requires shifting with an Author comes out with a new book but I have gotten into the habit of padding books now so that there is room at the end of the big authors.

Those are nice. I really like the painted one RF. We have not heard from our good friend in a LONG time. I wonder how she is doing with the statues...

Jerome, good to see your book room progressing. The new hardwood floor and paint job look great.

Also, happy to hear you are recovering so nicely from the kamakazi drone attack!

(Chad, if you had texted me that night, I would have said it must be an April Fool's joke. It's totally the over the top kind of thing Jerome would try.)

My employer has been dealing with alot of market changes over the past several months. As a consequence, I find out later today if I am laid off effective July or December. Because of my job duties, I'm thinking I'll be out of a job in July.

Either way, today is going to suck.

[Ben Staad]

Sorry to hear that. It is so unnerving to have this happen. I'm positive you will land on your feet. Take care, brother.

Sorry to hear that, man. Hope you find something better soon!

Regardless of how well the "economy" is doing, Wall street etc. are soaring to new heights, but the treatment of individual employees is pretty heartless.

Brian wishing you and your Family the best! Stay positive as when a window closes a door opens, best of luck Buddy.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Found out that my last day is mid-July. Ugh. I've seen this day coming for months, but today was a punch in the gut. I work in the healthcare industry, and Obamacare has been a huge money drain on our business. As a result, we can't afford to keep as many employees. Overall, I think management is handling things well, since they could have just told laid everyone off immediately.

Compare this to my former employer, who had a huge layoff a few years ago, and just let go a few hundred more a couple weeks ago. In order to get their severance, they have to train the offshore consultants taking their jobs. 60 Minutes just had a story about companies doing this. I had to do the same thing when I left, and it was humilitating to say the least.

Luckily, I've already been talking to recruiters, so hopefully something comes along soon. I really don't want to be my kids full-time nanny this summer!!

[zelig]

Wishing you all the best through this Brian.

[wolfehr]

So sorry to hear :/ Best of luck on getting through and I'll keep my fingers crossed those conversations with recruiters pan out!

I actually saw that 60 Minutes story. Pretty rotten.
