on my (modest) bookshelf

sadly, books just like pretty clothes are a luxury, & so i have modest means & modest amounts of these things i really love... of course, nothing beats my well used library card, doesn't mean i can't hope to have wall to wall books one day.  thought i would still share just some of my favorite books that i've kept over the years, some of these books i've had over two decades, from my very modest bookshelf (hope i ahven't embarrassed myself too much). i admit, i have a hard time holding onto books, because i lend out too many in the past & forget where they went. so, i cringe to lend out books these days.
whats on your bookshelf these days, library books included?

18 days to go...

day 347
purple magazine/book

this  365 project is almost at the end, & i'm pretty relieved, as well i feel quite embarrassed of what i have offered, when there is things such as this out there instead (i'ii make a proper blog post of these, very soon)... in any case, in this last month, some personal crap has taken over, & i've had to fill in some days with a few of my  favorite art books off our bookshelves, but hopefully you will enjoy that instead, what can you expect from a non-sponsored blog these days anyhow, well thats my excuse & i'm sticking to it aka sorry.

knitting & watching from the computer, at this time i've discovered pbs & its video streams, some of which i can view in canada, like the american experiences series (i highly recommend riding the rails: teenagers of the 30s riding the freights)... i should be wearing my glasses, but i had a headache & they are bothersome & hurt my nose... sometimes i do feel like a prisoner in this chair, but it beats the alternative for a shy person like myself... oh & my hair might look crazy cause i've flipped it off my face to the side, & maybe its greasy too

day 303

halloween at my mom's place,

enid with the pumpkin she designed

on my bookshelf: just kids, 2010

well, i 've been waiting, to the point of forgetting, that kind of waiting so long, then when patti smith's just kids arrived in my library holds, i was alright to just wait again for my ol' man to finish it first. now i'm just started & completely  absorbed. i think my young teenage self would have loved this, i suppose we had basketball diaries, however i'm making luke read this, well after me.

photos, robert mapplethorpe
