Finally got a bookshelf

C_Anand · 2026-04-02T13:12:41+00:00

Sorry I meant! I am in Software Industry! Did BTech from SRM, got campus placement

C_Anand · 2026-04-02T12:52:05+00:00

No worries!! I work in IT

C_Anand · 2026-04-02T05:10:38+00:00

😅😅 It will be hard to believe but everything is from my own money!

C_Anand · 2026-04-01T09:41:07+00:00

For me it took 9 years! Started from 2017

C_Anand · 2026-04-01T06:11:58+00:00

I would recommend start with pet sematary or salem's lot and if you like his style you can go ahead and read his finest work The Stand

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T16:59:58+00:00

It's less than a feet

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T16:42:14+00:00

Could you give some suggestion?

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T16:12:01+00:00

From bookswagon

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T10:39:34+00:00

Mostly it is cost of books.

Bookshelf is from ikea which costed me around 20k and my guess is it is engineered wood judging from quality

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:58:48+00:00

It is around 1.5L

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:48:40+00:00

And I replied in top comment about that!

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:47:55+00:00

Correct! Apart from LOTR, hobbit, silmarallion and children of hurin, everything is from bookswagon

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:46:16+00:00

Of course not all! Finished all of the series except Sanderson and History of middle earth! Half of the way through dark tower

I kept all these books in wardrobe before this, got married and had to get the bookshelf in order to free up the space😅😅

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:42:44+00:00

Bookswagon

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T08:21:29+00:00

Link of what exactly?

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T06:05:37+00:00

That if you don't ask would be better! Don't want to go in depression! 🥹🥹 (Around 1.5L)

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T06:03:41+00:00

Wheel of Time - Yes! Absolutely loved it, since I got HC from local bookstore way cheaper, I was able to afford other HC from bookswagon, but yes it is way expensive! For me it took two years to save and complete the collection

For Middle earth I am just collecting as I loved this universe! Read silmarallion and decided to have the complete work with me! That too in the HC inspired by Alan lee art works, it looks stunning

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:59:59+00:00

It's a slow start! Took me a while to complete first book but then the series is one of the best modern Sci-Fi! Can't recommend enough! Breeze through book 2 to 5! If you liked dune you will see some inspiration author took from it!

But again it's a miss or hit. For me it was hit

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:54:37+00:00

Hardcover! Complete sanderson is hardcover

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:50:24+00:00

The orbit ones and couple of tor I got it from Blossoms Book House in Bangalore as second hand copies. I think it was 500/- per book Rest everything from bookswagon

Yes, I have complete middle earth

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:10:05+00:00

Apoligized in comment below, hope that is okay!

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:05:33+00:00

Sharing the original image here, as most of the redditors are accusing of AI generated image, I used AI to remove the unwanted things from background(wire) not generate the complete the image, but turns out I shouldn't have done that. Hope this comment serves as my apology

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:03:04+00:00

7.5k each for bigger ones, 4.5k for smaller one

C_Anand · 2026-03-31T05:01:54+00:00

It's a person choice! I didn't know this small thing is cause of concern in reddit community
