The 5 things meme.

Another of robs 5 things meme, this one is:

5 things you simply must have on your bookshelf.

1. The readers digest diy handbook.
Not a very exciting start but true none the less. It is one of those books that is like an old friend, always there in a time of need. It holds concise instructions on how to do all those little fiddly jobs about the house that you never even considerd when you bought the thing.

2. A bowl.
Now personaly I concider book shelves to be for books, and therefore fill them with books. However there are others who think that bookshelves should also be the domain of bowl's, pictures and gereral dust gathering nic-naks. I will conciede on the bowl front, it is a very useful place for putting all those bits and bobs that have no perminent home and give you time to decide the best course of action.

3. Now we are 6.
Why should we have this, well it is not for reading or for going to in times of crisis, it is thereto remind us that we should hang on to a little bit of our childish side.

4. Anything by Douglas Adams.
For as lomg as I can remember I have had a Douglas adams book on my bookshelve either one of the "hitchikers" books or one of the "Dirk gently" series. There is a nice feel about them and they can fill a "lack of reading matter" hole as they are easy to read over and over.

5. A dictionaty.
For obvious reasons.

Done, time for someone else to have a go.
