I built this bookshelf into the corner of my room recently, to hold my book collection. It's basically 100% full, lol. My girlfriend's room also has built in bookshelves (I didn't build them, they came with the house), which are now almost empty. And we have another bookshelf too. Since I always buy the books I want to read, because I like to have a library, I'm thankful for the overflow. Before I built this bookshelf, I had books in stacks that couldn't fit anywhere.

I hate being bored more than anything, I get self destructive when I get bored. So I try to be always doing something. I also can't fall asleep very well if I don't read in bed, so there's that. I read until my eyes are uncontrollably closing and then immediately turn off the light without getting up, if I have to get up, I'll wake back up. So the reading is sort of built in, if I don't do it, I lay awake frustrated. I'll get in bed at 11, some nights I'll get sleepy really fast but some nights I won't get sleepy until 2 or 3am.
That is an incredible bookshelf my man you are quite the craftsman. I've always wanted a shelf like that to hold my books in I haven't had one that big since I was a child/teen many years ago. All of my books are in big plastic tubs that I have stacked to the brim. When I lived in NYC I had a small shelf but since then I have gotten lots more books in my collection so when I eventually move to a new apartment I'm gonna buy one for them. Don't think I'd ever be able to build one from scratch like you did, your an excellent carpenter. So was my father he built so many structures around the property I grew up at I wish I paid better attention when he was trying to teach me.
