You don’t have to be “tsundoku” and accumulate stacks of unread books to realize that books can be a problem. Before novels or essays, books are objects that occupy a space and weigh one kilo. They have to be placed somewhere and, although we are not aware while reading them, the seven volumes of Harry Potter they take up an entire shelf of the shelf. We never know how many books we have or how much they occupy until we have a move and we have to put them in boxes, break our backs with them and find a new space for them. Then we found out: how many books do I have!
Maybe you should cure yourself of this bookish Diogenes syndrome, but we also recognize that there are incurable diseases. Sorting the library is a pleasure, a TOC, a sudoku, a tetris … A challenge for which the first thing of all is to have a good bookshelf suited to your reading needs. That is why we have dived into the Amazon catalog to recommend the best shelves and bookcases next to which to curl up in the chair and open a good book.
Choose the book now, it’s up to you. But you can also consult among our recommended books, the best mystery, horror and science fiction. Or among the best philosophy books, or look for something more contemporary with our 2021 recommended readings.
