Re: Things you have an irrational hatred of
I don’t mind the different sizes but I do have three books that are way bigger than all my others and are too tall for even my tallest shelf. It saddens me that they can’t join my other tomes on the shelf.spike wrote:You must love encyclopedia collections.E.H.

Different sizes, colors, etc make a bookshelf charming.
