And after a couple of days of sorting things out (because there was a lot of chaos) and shelving some of my favourite books. This is the result, but I should have bought one extra bookcase for some of the hardcovers (mainly Marvel) that are still tucked away somewhere else. For those people that enjoy books, have fun with the pictures!

@Yulianna That sounds way nicer then "I'm a hoarding materialist with a book fetish", yeah... I see how that would make a lot of people more happy about themselves.
It's a pitty that the SW site seems to loose some of the quality of the pictures that are taken to make it fit. But you as someone that is doing political sciences, you could have a field day with what I have on some of the shelves. It goes from left to right, from moderate to radical to extreme. I'm proud of my colection. Now I just have to read it all, because I've read a lot, but I've not read all of them.
Also, Since this week I'm looking into a ukrainian that is in the comic book world. I read one of his works, and I bought some of his more experimental stuff to see how that is.
@Yulianna When you are a hoarder like me, there is a lot of future ahead of you. 😅 But at least I read... I do actually read. I also have friends that just have books but don't read which is strange.
I recently got my hands on a dutch hardcover translation of Marcel Proust. When I'm done with what I'm doing now (which still has a way to go) then I'm finally going to give that a try because a lot of people think it's great. It's just an investment of time.
@Yulianna well, language is magic... at least that's what the NLP gurus say. I think they have a certain point, depending on your definition of "magic" of course. Thx for the reference, but at the moment, I think Proust will do, it's going to be a long journey. and I still need to read Dostojevski, which is also something that has been on my shelf way too long without being read.
@Yulianna Well, I've conciously left out the medicine or the common stuff like sugar and caffeine which are all products that stimulate people in a certain way. But alcohol is something that people like to forget about, or place outside the realm of drugs... and it clearly should be in that category.
@Yulianna Yes, I put it next to sugar for a reason. Caffeine and sugar are both drugs that users are unaware off. But they are present in a lot of peoples life, and the moment people ask you to be concious about them and cut down on them [i](for avoiding sugar disease, diets, ... or high blood pressure)[/i], people notice that they are kicking off pretty hard if they are heavy users.
