lol can you imagine being the type of person who needs bookends to keep their books upright because your library doesn’t take up the whole shelf, several other shelves and spill over onto the floor to form towering stacks that will one day topple and pin you down, helpless while your pet cats feast on your flesh while you’re still alive? Just lol.

who the gently caress owns or reads books in 2017? Me. I've been reading a 1960's published illustrated gardening encyclopedia and it is cool as poo poo

I'm starting a movement; If they have bookends in their home, DON'T gently caress them! Just leave.

My dad used to make intricate folk art bookends to sell in the small town secondhand bookstore we owned when I was young. Somehow we never kept any though and now I miss them.

I have bookends. Mainly because I have unenclosed shelves mounted on the walls of my bedroom, and I use them to keep the books from tumbling off the ends. Also, the shelves in my library are totally full, with several hundred books on the floor, and the bookends help hold the books up that are on the tops of the shelves. We have roughly 175 linear feet of bookshelf, and maybe 10 or 12 book ends. The utilitarian library-style ones, for the most part.

I inherited two matching bookends from my grandfather. They're two wooden men sorta hunched over with their hands behind them touching the books. I always thought they were depicting Sisyphus carrying his burden or something, but imagine my surprise when i looked at them more closely: they are in fact goatse-men spreading their cheeks to the poor book behind. Turns out grandad was pretty loving insane towards the end.

bookends are not for shelves op, they're for your headboard or your living room drink rail or your counter or wherever you need to store excess books that is not actually a bookshelf, hope this helps your sad semiliterate rear end out in the future

I've worked at a bookstore, and bookends are essential to keeping your books organized. Do not listen to the OP's lies.

I keep my books chained to the bookshelf so smelly peasants don't run off with the illuminated manuscripts.

One of my ex's got me a STAR WARS bookend that was essentially: ST|||||||||||||||||||||||||||AR WA|||||||||||||||||||||||||||RS We had been dating for maybe a year and a bit and even then I wondered why the hell would you get me something like that, sure I love the Star Wars movies but I didn't need such a useless thing. Thing was pretty expensive too like $60+ and of course it doesn't fit on any shelves and I already have multiple bookshelves solely for books. And if I didn't use it she got upset because she spent so much money on it. Just blew my mind that someone would spend so much money on such a useless gift and then get mad at someone else for not liking it because it was a thoughtless gift.

I'm looking at my wife's writing desk right now and just like since the day I met her it has a single unmatched bookend on it. Just sitting there, holding nothing. I think she's trying to quietly drive me crazy.
