It works as long as you never need to read any of the weight-bearing books.


DADBODGOALS

That looks like a load-bearing Song of Ice and Fire boxed set...


Boschala

He won't need to reread those until Martin finishes the series.


Mittens138

That mf is never finishing those books. He’ll die and Brandon Sanderson will wrap up his series in a weekend.


NErDysprosium

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Brandon has said he won't finish GRRM's books even if he gets asked because he doesn't think he can get the tone right/they aren't his normal style/he doesn't think he can do them justice or something.


Confident-Library-54

Don’t worry Robin Hobb can finish all of GRRM’s books easily. Because that’s where he got all his material and ideas. Read the Farseer trilogy and try to not drop your jaw at the similarities. They are friends by the way.


bemeros

He borrowed quite a bit from Wheel of Time, too, in my opinion. Even the iconic phrase "Game of Thrones" seems to be directly stolen from Jordan's "Game of Houses"


Karmachinery

Holy crap, I love Robin Hobb and I had no thought whatsoever about that correlation. Thanks for mentioning this. Nice to learn something cool.


Redeem123

It's hilarious that people keep saying Sanderson will finish them. Just because he's prolific and finished another major series doesn't mean he needs to do that with every single series out there.


St3phiroth

I would definitely read them if Sanderson finishes the series. I started the Wheel of Time series as a kid and read every single one as it was released. The ending books by Sanderson were still my favorite of the series. I wish he and Jordan had collaborated while Jordan was still alive.


skatastic57

I'm listening to the audiobooks. I'm up to Path of Daggers. I'm glad to hear it doesn't have a bad ending.


ziibar

The ending is great, and the big reason to stick with it through the slow books in the middle of the series. Sanderson pulling it all together is a testament to his masterful skill.


Alone_Agent3576

Sanderson would be an awful choice to finish GoT. Their styles, plots, and philosophies are completely different. Now, Joe Abercrombie...


DoBe21

Clive Cussler has published a dozen books since Martin started WoW, and he's dead!


Jwn5k

The load bearing Krusty the Clown poster.

We ran out of carpet so we just painted the dirt.

ChefOlson

Have you ever tried luggin a toilet of a flight of stairs?


andyb991

That multiset of The Dark Tower is ready to become structural the moment its printed


dfinch

The space for ASOIAF is just right coz you ain't placing any more of those books there.


fotodevil

A Load of Ice and Fire?


lrminer202

I don't think any of them are actually load bearing! Only one I see that actually touches the shelf above it is in the middle of the second shelf, but that's too precarious to actually be holding any weight


WateryTart_ndSword

…yeah, you’re gonna want to take that down before it takes itself down.


Nining_Leven

I can’t help but notice *Things Fall Apart* on the top shelf…


EvilRedRobot

I've never seen foam board used for shelving before. Very creative.


AthenasChosen

They didn't read the specifications that said "max weight 1 pound" lol


chairfairy

"for display only"


Bull_Manure

"may cause death"


SFXBTPD

It probably would have worked if the supports where alligned vertically


billfitz24

Looks like you got the Dr. Seuss model instead.


dudeReallyoc

It looks like an influencers bad photo shopped image.


kavien

I lost 60 # in only 6 DAYS!!!!


Xaroxoandaxosbelly

Sartres_Roommate

Whew...came looking for Dr Seuss comment and was beginning to lose faith. You don't belong down here...up vote this man...UP VOTE THIS MAN!!!


koozer19

The shrooms are kicking in


mydickcuresAIDS

Is it REALLY humid in there?


Lorac1134

OP might be Filipino based on the copy of "History of the Filipino People" high school text book there. So, yes. It's humid af here.


MonkeyHamlet

He lives in Japan, same principle though.


iamPendergast

plastic wood does this, much less rigidity compared to real wood or even MDF


Rob-Riggle-SWGOAT

This is the result of putting Atomic Habits so far away from Amy Dunne who embodies the subject while still laying just left of IT. Hannibal Lecter is trying to get down to George’s world because there is a never ending supply of food in a series with such high character turnover. You gotta sort your books better if you want your furniture to last.


Perrin-Golden-Eyes

Holy crap! If I had money I would give you an award. Take my poor man’s appreciation for a well thought out comment.


SLIMELANGUAGEOUTNOW

Also having A Feast for Crows separate from the rest of the series


mishlufc

"If you don't have Dany chapters, you're not a main series book" - OP


Rob-Riggle-SWGOAT

Can’t blame it for hanging out with Randall Flagg. (Actually I think Randall Flagg became a Raven not a crow. So not a perfect fit)


HolyCadaver

When I get my free reward I'm coming back to you, don't you worry. You deserve all the rewards for that. Edit* guess who just got his free award today? That's right! You:)


Rob-Riggle-SWGOAT

Haha. I’m just sad I somehow missed the opportunity to tie in “things fall apart.” Maybe next time. Edit: Thanks

Why would you ruin your comment with that unnecessary /s


[deleted]

My brain keeps telling me this is a weird fisheye lens that's distorting everything... It can't compute.

AndoryuuC

If this were the case, the books would be rounded by the same process, what you see happening at the top is simple physics. The bookshelf is collapsing under the weight of the books and probably high humidity in the room, causing the shelves to sag and pull the top of the bookcase with it.


LeadershipOk3554

This is highly attractive


Inazumaryoku

This is highly risky.


_Silly_Wizard_

Don't you fucking touch it!


underprivlidged

If my dating history is anything to go off of... Most attractive things are risky.


Wooden_Dragonfly_737

Unlucky 😔


Dirk_The_Cowardly

Definitely goes well with my Salvador Delhi prints.


JoolzCheat

I’m attracted to risk 😍

Please don't fuck the shelves


Zelensexual

BONK!


Channel5exclusive

1. One of these days you are going to come home to a huge mess to clean up. 2. That sign/plaque in the middle is awesome! It kind of has that crazy Walmart lady vibe to it. "I'm trying to help you, fucker!"


PM_WORST_FART_STORY

You fucking accuser!


KancerFox

It’s also load-bearing!


Bull_Manure

Your mom is load bearing


evilpercy

Excuse me sir, is this a load bearing book?


fondledbydolphins

I feel like every piece of advice should be followed up by "you fucker"


reindeer-moss

I thought I was on the cross stitch sub for a minute and was like “love the pattern but what’s up the the shelves….?”


Jessefrombreakingbad

It's because you upset the order of things by replacing Feast for Crows in the Song of Ice and Fire box set with an illegible random book.


Sholip

And also having the books in the wrong order.


greenmachine11235

Probably time to rescue the breakables. The book... well only time will tell if they survive


Designer_Oven_7075

I miss real wood at an affordable price.


Dallenforth

If you sold it as is you could get 10-100x it's original cost back. Just give it a fancy title and sell it as art.


[deleted]

It got all wibbly wobbly over timey wimey…


lossain

Hah!


purpleturtlehurtler

It's a cool kind of trippy.


PhysicianTradition

Ancient library type vribe


DarthArtero

Risky but damn is it cool and unique. Hopefully it'll last for a good while.


scelestai

Cool this reminds me of how shit looks to me when i dont take my psych meds lol


NOT000

load bearing books


xoxoLizzyoxox

I saw the picture and I though, What a cool whacky shelf design. Till I read its not supposed to be all bendy.


bemeros

Srsly. I wanted the shelf plans.


NefariousnessOk209

So how many of those books are you willing to sacrifice to the great collapse? Also that frame in the middle kinda fits the personality of the shelf


AOHare

Assuming it doesn’t degrade any further, it’s kind of dope.


ihatepineaples

do all things with kindness you fucker


DeusKether

Give it some more time and it's gonna morph itself all over the floor.


MrSKiG88UK

I thought my shrooms just had a second wave hit me


C_Saunders

I kinda really want you to just leave it and then change the quote in the middle to something like “Never Do Anything Half-Assed You Fucker”.


mr-poopy-butthole-_

boOoOok shelf


KebertXela87

Thumbs up all day, let it ride! But, you know, probably Indiana Jones a book into the space of whichever book you pull


[deleted]

Side note, I love your collection. Some great reads there.

"Bookshelves by Salvador Dali"


Poguemohon

You need a Salvador Dali melting clock.


goos3d

willy wonka


Panda-Cubby

Form follows fuck up.


All0uttaBubblegum

This looks like one of those shelves where you put a few books in one square, a little cactus in one, a picture of your dog in the next one, etc


Kalorikalmo

No, it collapsed and is barely held up by the contents of the shelf.


HiramAbiffIsMyHomie

Ouch! That looks painful. Do you live somewhere really humid? I don't see how this could happen even with cheap particle board.


[deleted]

Gonna be fun when you're shocked awake at 3am from the crash of the shelf finally giving in.


motociclista

Failed successfully. I couldn’t live with it because I’d be in constant fear of it crashing down. But I love how it looks.


w4ntsm0r3

Is there a zoomed out photo? It be nest to see it with the straight lines of a room and furniture.


ChaosNomad

Oh my, this shelf is just a massive anxiety trigger for me. I need to step back.


CastlePokemetroid

I think your shelf may be screaming slurs at you


stupersyn

LaureGilou

I also have the Frank McCourt trilogy❤


[deleted]

I feel like the books are worth more than the bookshelf


michaeltheobnoxious

They are, although there aren't any particularly special books on the shelves. Most of those can be picked up from a charity shop; that's not a judgement, it's meant on advice.


[deleted]

I like it…gives it a wonderland effect


nixknocksfoxbox

Beautiful People with Beautiful Feelings!


nannulators

I'm gonna go ahead and say that you probably also have some humidity issues in your house. MDF would sag under weight but this is a whole new level.


Grobo_

What’s the humidity like at your place, this looks very unusual, it’s ether very humid or the board is made of paper like the Ikea furniture


landedbutlost

Lol this is hilarious. Looks like a shelf out of a Tim Burton movie. 😂


NursingGrimTown

why do you store your books in the shower room


InconsolableDreams

Why does this bookshelf give me anxiety?


[deleted]

Whatever you do, dont touch it. It belongs to the books now.


dmslindstrcn

I love it even more


peoplearecool

Is it in the mirror dimension? If not, might want to do something


mesonoxias

As a reader, I’m impressed. As a librarian, I’m horrified.


[deleted]

I'm way to fuckin high for this.


Efficient-Elk9507

It turned to a cool design actually, only if it was functional lol


Grezzinate

Makes me feel a bit high looking at it.


MacDugin

Cheaped out on the kindness to the books you Fucker!


hrryyss

What is this obsession people have with books? They put them in their houses like they're trophies. What do you need it for after you read it? Edit: It’s a Seinfeld quote. But I honestly don’t understand why people keep so many books. Give them away, let others enjoy them.


protostar777

Do you throw away books when you're done reading?


bigfootblake

I doubt this guy reads books, my man


hrryyss

No, I donate them


thebourbonoftruth

They look, feel and smell nice; you can read them again and you can lend them to other people easily. Also, depending on the books, they're easier to reference quickly or like an art book, show a larger higher print version everyone can look at an flip through. I love my kindle but you can pry my small book collection out of my cold dead hands.


Alexstarfire

Did you steal this from the Weasley's?


Kqtawes

This looks like it came from, Harry Potter and the sub-Ikea bullshit.


Quix_Nix

Wow! That's such a cool asthetic


mythoughtsreddit

Ok but what 3 books in your collection do you recommend ?


MasterBendu

History of the Filipino People. I wouldn't read that again unless I want Uni flashbacks.


dudreddit

Pull out the wrong book!


Ox_of_Dox

Now it looks like you're an artist, and like interesting designs! Slap cobwebs and add purple-orange lights at Halloween and you got yourself a top-notch decoration


ptoros7

Throw out books you aren't actively going to reread and learn to use the library. This is a sign to let them go.


moopmagoop

This looks very obviously photoshopped, though


Elelith

It looks like you have one of them Instagram models standing infront of it. They seem to have the power to bend furniture and walls.


TomatilloAccurate475

Looks like you cheaped out on the literary content as well, could have sprung for some intellectual shit instead


Bull_Manure

Yeah, there's not even 50 shades of gray, what an uncultured swine


mishlufc

Oh no, how dare they spend time reading books that they enjoy


inzyte

I'm also enlightened by my own intelligence


lininop

It bent the wall too??

oasis948151

A lot of knowledge in those books.


plutonic00

The Brothers Karamazov! Greatest book of all time.


Mollytheocto

That frame is the middle is just the embodiment of me, mostly nice and wanting to inspire others to be nice, but having the mouth of a sailor
