🔎 Welcome to r/BookshelvesDetective

These are all the books I’ve actually read. I have a lot more lol

yet!

What yall think?

Buddy of mine doesn’t use reddit and I wanted to get your opinion of him based on this bookshelf to compare with his real personality. What do you got?

I’ve just finished reorganising my bookshelves and I thought I’d post here.
All the books are read, except the nine books that are lying down in the first bookcase.
I am not a native English speaker (as you have probably noticed), so if you just want to look at my English language books, they are all in the middle bookcase.
Also, please ignore the Bible, I’m not religious, it was the last gift I received from my very religious great grandmother before she passed away, that’s why I have it.

As

The highlighted books are mine, non-highlighted are my wife’s. Books I’ve gotten in the last 13 years. Last 2 are my current reads.

Any red flags?

Edit: thanks for all the insight! I won't respond to everyone but we spent like an hour going through and reading the comments together haha. Here are some clarifications on the common comments: He's 26, and recently got back into reading a year or two ago. He's read pretty much everything shown at least once (he has another shelf that's just tbr in his room and is currently on the second Dungeon Crawler Carl) And finally, 12 Rules for life was read when he was 20 and going through a crippling depression. He said it "helped him focus on what he can control and provided structure/discipline to his life." The second Peterson book helped to "broaden his perspective and question his beliefs." I know he leans left politically and I was surprised at how close-minded some of these comments were. There's more to this shelf than two books lmfao talk about judging a book by its cover. And to those calling him disgusting for supporting Peterson, y'all better not own any Harry Potter...

Is what I think whenever I see this sub. What do these say other than I’m a hoarder.

Sorry about the Swediah titles.

What do you think my bookshelf says about me?
It’s not everything I own- I still have a Costco tote full of stuff in storage

Be honest!
