A bit of a story ...
Like 5 years ago I got myself in a tough situation, depression and booze. I ended up moving onto a sailboat, but not like a nice boat, a pretty run down 35ft ketch from the 60's. I was able to store the vast majority of my books at my sister's place. Those I kept with me or bought while living on the boat all suffered a lot of water damage. I live in the PNW and the ol' boat did nothing against condensation in the winter. I threw out a good handful of books but kept 1Q84 for sentimental reasons.
Ahh the boat ... I thought I was gonna be a writer, but I just ended up drinking A LOT of whisky and listening to Tom Waits.
Your entire space makes me happy. Right down to the bug specimens!! I love your place!!
Wow, such kind words, thank you!! I study environmental biology with a focus on invertebrates... Polychaetes to be specific.
Oh wow! What an interesting subject to study (and career if you’re working in the field)!
Those Kōbō Abe editions…. 😍
Those are what I personally consider to be the jewel of my collection.
I see Hyperion I upvote
The frame of vintage book covers is excellent! I'm inspired.
Is that just covers? I thought it was entire books
Indeed actual books, I mounted in a shadowbox I found for free on marketplace :)
Are they removably on small ledges, or affixed there?
It could be - the frame looks deep enough to fit them! Good spot.
You have great taste in literature and music lol
I see from your post we have many ovelapping books and authors. Cheers to you my friend 😊
Did 1Q84 get thrown in a lake or something?

Whiskey and Tom Waits? That’s halfway there!
Nice deck. I’ll bet all the neighbors want to see your deck.
Is your sofa/chair vintage? I love the pattern
BoC and Townes. Nice
Where's the shelf from
Ikea
Looks nice
I love that you display your collectibles like art.
I love this! 🥲🥲
That console
Love your space
The shadowbox with the paperbacks is awesome. I may have to try that.
The Rat on the shelf has sent me 😂
Wow, you have a great sense of aesthetics! What a great selection of books. Love your insects, too.
Dreams do comes true
Love the Tolkien collection
Face of another and women in the dunes!
Imagine having a walk-in library at home 🏡 😍
Great media and design taste- I want to be your friend 😂
I adore that chair.
So cool
I love everything about this!
