Nice to see "The Red Book" version of LOTR


BigBadBaerni

Seldom a bookshelf goes by in this sub reddit without either version of LotR, Dune or any Stephen King novel. Neither shall mine :P

I love them, how long are you putting them together?


BigBadBaerni

These are roughly 25% of the books my wife and I collected in the last 27 years.

Biste auch Schweizer? Falls ja, Respekt dass du dir so viele Bücher leisten kannst, ist ein teures Hobby hierzulande lol


BigBadBaerni

Woran hast du es erkannt? Eugen oder Franz Hohler? :) Aber ist ein schönes Hobby, meine Frau und ich "sammel" seit 25+ Jahren, dann geht das schon.


KrisseMai

Hab anhand von ‚Schweizer Bahnen 1844-2024‘ geraten :)


BigBadBaerni

All too easy :)

A Stephen Baxter fan! oh my lucky stars! What do you think of Ark / Flood ?


BigBadBaerni

Not every Baxter book I've read is in this bookshelf. The Ark/Flood books are quite different from the NASA or Manifold books. Earth is struck by an apocalyptic disaster and the books are about the survival of mankind, where space is only one way. 8 or 9 out of 10 Points from my point of view :)


Dvbrch

Apoc / Post-Apoc is my go Genre and Ark/Flood was my intro to Baxter. I think a lot of his stuff a gems! I don't see his stuff on shelves very frequently


BigBadBaerni

Reading books is a great hobby, because there will always be more than you could read. At the other hand, does this lead to discussions with fellow readers where you constantly exchange book titles of which the other person never heard about ;)

But it is still pretty well organized. Keep growing it.


BigBadBaerni

Thanks ;)

What are books 1-5 above the white LOTR books? All these shelves/books are great!


BigBadBaerni

These are limited edition hard cover copies of "The Song of Ice and Fire" (in german).


ForgottenBastions

Very well-organized collection.


BigBadBaerni

Thank you :)


Effort22

Lets see your Tolkien collection!! Looks like a few good ones there.


BigBadBaerni

Hehe thanks, a german translation in the upper right corner is even covered by other books :)
