Books across your computer desk

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

I don't have books on my computer desk. I keep them on the bookshelf where they belong.

Perhaps you should buy a book about de-cluttering your space?

I have that also, one book shelf for the music one for the sports one for the westerns.

I simply like having those books I mentioned right above me, kinda like candles and incense more a mood thing.

And who ever said books are suppose to be anywhere in particular?

Hell, right down here a dozen books about them Blues, Country and Rock & Roll. Add.....Quran, History of the NWA (rasslin') College Football by SI. A great book about.........Frank Frazetta Book Cover Art.

Superman: Birthright.

Stargirl: the lost children

Who is the author of Stargirl, the lost children?

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

When it comes to the westerns I zero in on these five authors....

Louis L' Amour
Zane Grey
Luke Short
Max Brand
JT Edson and his Dusty Fog storires.

Anyone have someone I should add to those?

 

[Kal-El]

Who is the author of Stargirl, the lost children?

Geoff Johns, her creator. Inspired by his sister who unfortunately passed away i believe, hence the name Courtney.

Here comes the bragging, we bought this home because of a lot of reasons one was the huge two car garage, I had every intentions of......gym, recording studio and man cave, which it is. I had to have somewhere to store all those books and all that music, actually had shelves built just for that reason, can't open the garage door. shelves are bulit there.

Well over 10,000 books, and at my age I better start getting more serious about my reding or I won't make ir. Same with the music, well over 10,000 CD, records, tapes combined.

Yep, a history geek so I have them old blues, jazz, country etc. Tons of music.

Then there are the magazines those I have to keep in boxes simply because I have nowhere to display them, football, boxing, pro wrestling, bodybuiding, blues, track & field mags from as far back as the 50's.

A horder would work but a hoarder with a system, ha~~~~~~~

Mary Shelly Frankenstein, hard to believe a teenage girl wrote that classic, some consider it to be the first Sci Fi novel.

For context, she was 18 when she started writing it and 19 when she finished. Yes, very impressive, but still she was an adult.

Well lets see....

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A teenager using his phone.
A teenager, or teen, is someone who is 13 to 19 years old. They can also be called "adolescents". The laws on what teenagers may do vary between countries.


Yep, like I said she was a teenager.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

Speaking of a teenager...

In 1928 we had the first time the Olympics had the female 100m, the event would be won by a 16 year old high school girl named Betty Robinson, that was the first and last time a HS won an Olympic sprint.

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
Play like Eric Johnson guitar tablature book
Rush - Deluxe guitar tablature book.

I have ‘meditations’ in this book on stoicism with 3 other heavy hitters included on my desk. After reading and practicing the teachings for some time, I can safely say I’ll never be a stoic. Not in the cards.

I got an instapot cook book on my desk too. Nothing too deep there.

 

[William Huggins]

Wtf...... Is this the 1980's do you still use a Filofax,

I've got a balance ball in the middle of a multi function room, I'm usually found doing dwarf goat yoga whilst digesting information through my neural implant........

Fucking amateurs..............

Damn , you must be the only other person I've seen reference the JT Edson novels .

Love those books . The originals though , not the sanitized modern ones .

Started picking them up on a holiday in the 80s and have pretty much the whole lot now as physical books and most of the modern versions on Kindle.

He wrote quite a decent Western for a Brit...

Never used a hooker, but I think Zeno and crew would definitely look down on it. Buzzkills. Fentanyl killed cocaine for me... Danger, Will Robinson!

Guess we are left with how to make Korean short ribs in the old instapot.

Bought a box of westerns at a yardsale a few years ago, one was JT Edson and a Floating Outfit story with Dusty Fog, as ya know great stuff, a short little cat who knows martial arts in the old west AND a fast draw, gotta love it. That was about 30 Edson books ago.

Edson is a Brit, I didn't know that,
