# my bookcase hasn't collapsed
despite the dire prophetic warnings I recieved from you lot.


If it does, I'll let you know, but I don't think you'll have that joy - it feels pretty solid, for some strange reason...

# the post
or the fact that these shelves are holding up?

# No, they look sturdy enough to me.
There was just no attempt to make them straight or symetrical and I thought that only I did these things.

The post is bizarre too mind.

# straight and symmetrical is for wimps
and anyway, my house isn't straight enough for straight bookshelves. As it is, the wall curves away from the shelves in the middle, where there used to be a door.

Hooray for your shoddy yet surprisingly successful DIY!

# I hoped it would
so did my wife, who thought I was odd (well, I am actually) but is now quite pleased.

# ha ha ha
they're devious little fuckers like that though. I built a similar construction once; it seemed sturdy enough for around 3 years then suddenly when I least expected it I came in from work one evening and it appeared to have been blown up like a 1960s tower block

# it is a bit huge-ish
but good stuff.

nothing like a good bit of Hebrew poetry - no really - it's amazing stuff.
they kind of rhyme concepts and mental images rather than words.
