Nicked off the SFX forum, I though it might be fun to do on here too.

Simply show us your books shelves

I'll go 1st:

Shelf one:

Nice shelves!!
But SIX beer guides? Just drink it man!

I spy Nemesis by Asimov lurking in there, haven't read that in years, is that the one where a colony is headed to a star in a slow ship, only to be superceded by the invention of fast-than-light travel?

Oh and I see a Jack Vance, always liked his stuff.

I get a new "Good Beer Guide" every 2 years. It's more for an update on pubs than for the beer itself.

Nemesis is still "to read", but looking at the description on the back it doesn't seem to be the story you mention. Nemesis is a fire ball heading for Earth, there is an Earth colony orbiting it. The colony is the Ark & Nemesis is the flood.

The only Vance book I have is Emphyrio. Great novel.

He doesn't look much like an SF writer in this picture (from Wiki.) does he?:

As soon as I can be bothered to move from my seat and take a photo I'll post it here. Could be a few days. Suppose I'd better get the duster out too.

And arrange all of those shoes neatly, too.

Just realised that these pics may be a tad small to pick out the detail if that was the idea.

The post links all come up with crosses for me :(

The off forum link works fine though...

I hope you're going to drink all those bottles & not just keep them as full ornaments?

Have you read that Neal Asher books yet? I bought mine at the same time as you for 99p from Waterstones. Great novel.:cool:
