I'm very anal retentive when it comes to shelving my books. Before placing books in front of other books, I'd get rid of some furniture to make room for another shelf. Who needs a dresser and clean socks and underwear, anyways?This is how I have to fit the books in my shelves now

Never ask an Iranian if they're going broke if you're not ready to listen to a five hour lament about inflation, recession, and currency devaluation ?You sure you guys aren't going BROKE buying all these books? ?
I couldn't help but notice the copy of Island by Alistair MacLeod on your table. It's a shame that such a master storyteller wrote so little during his lifetime. Only sixteen short stories and one novel for a man who lived to his mid-seventies. By the way, MacLeod's "The Vastness of the Dark" is one of my all-time favorite short stories. It took me back to my childhood in a way no other short story, or even novel, ever has.
I picked it up because I've been reading heaps of Alice Munro recently and thought it might be healthy and interesting to see what other Canadian writers (not named Margaret Atwood) have to say.
