Today I made a big effort to procrastinate studying for my exam and started taking my books out of the suitcases and putting them on a shelf. Here are most of the books I managed to bring over to Chile (there are some more fiction ones tho).



Just realized I have 19 Trotsky books and only 2 Marx ones. I also seem to have lost my copy of the Communist Manifesto. I think I must have given it away at least twice.

I love Bookshelf pictures.

Yours look so new!

Yeah, some of them actually are new and waiting to be read, lol. Others are editions I worked on translating/restoring and then got a copy of, but never actually read from that copy since I had already read it from previous editions. Most of the political books I and Spanish speakers in general were educated on were old editions that were later improved by this publishing house.

We moved just before Christmas, and now do not have enough bookcasing. Most of my books are in the garage and one of the barns and will have to stay there until I fit out one of the sitting rooms into a library.

Then when my books come out of the barn I can turn one of the barns into a pub seeing as the government closed pubs I am going to make my own with a bar pool table and jukebox. I may even brew my own beer in it and put a cider press into the potting shed in the orchard.

Anyway, when I get my library room sorted I will post it up.

I love this idea! Esepcially having your own cider. I bet that's not the only home-grown thing you can make for your your pub.

Well I guess that a "Guess Who: Bookshelf Edition" is out of the question now.

Also some of those books are mine (the least commie ones).

That would have been a good game. Mine would have been a freebie though. :p

I read today that 4 pubs are going bust a day due to lockdown. Pubs are the cornerstone of English culture and need protecting. There is also an annoying trend for virtue signalling corporate brewers to change historic pub names in the name of woke nonsense. Anyways at this rate there should be plenty of good fittings available from shut down pubs.

We are midway between Woodplumpton and Broughton, and also close to Eaves. The Farmers Arms in Eaves has gone, which was a lovely pub. The Wheatsheaf in Woodplumpton looks like it will survive. The Broughton Inn is not looking healthy, shame it is a proper old coaching Inn that has been there for hundreds of years and pulls a nice pint. down the road the Running Pump has gone in Inskip, The Derby Arms has gone in Trailes. The WIthy Tree has gone in Fulwood. The Sumpter Horse has gone in Lower Penwortham. The Sitting Goose has gone in Catforth.

Anyways, the barn I have earmarked for my personal pub, is a 'Dutch Barn' that was previously used as a workshop and sawmill. It is close to the Hall and has nice sliding doors I can hang a proper pub sign over. I want a juke box so I can fill it full of Led Zep and Black Sabbath 45s, a small bar with real pumps, and a decent pool table.

That is such a bummer to hear about the pubs shutting down. I can't even imagine England without pubs.

Your own little pub is the latest trendy accessory...
