This must’ve been after Atrus burned the books to keep them from Cirrus and Achenar.

UlyssesT,

This is like body horror for librarians.

Pulptastic,

Fiberboard on the left, wood on the right.

antonim,

My new IKEA shelf when I put all my books in it be like:

Holyhandgrenade,

When a drop of moisture hits the particle board

miraclerandy,

I love the level of decay at each shelf. That middle one seems to be protected but the bottom one is getting exposed to something

db2,

Those aren’t books though.

Norgur,

Nah, I agree: Those are not books. Those are folders.

@Norgur But would you agree those are bookshelves the folders are sitting in?

I'm replying to my own comment because why not. Maybe they should be called foldershelves...

I'm also bumping myself because gosh darn it, I need a little slap in the back even if it's from myself.

We all need a little slap in the back sometimes

Norgur,

In German, this would not be a bookshelf. It'd be a document shelf or a folder shelf, so I can't say I agree with "bookshelf"... dangit, English! You are one of if not the germanic language with the most words and you are always lacking!

muggedTassi,

I’m sorry, but wtf are you talking about? Du kannst mir nicht ernsthaft sagen, dass du das “Ordnerregal” nennen würdest, oder?

Norgur,

Aktenregal, but "Akten" doesn't work as a literal translation, so I paraphrased.

muggedTassi,

Filing shelf gibts, wobei sich die anglophone Welt da wahrscheinlich was mit Registerkarten zum von oben rausheben vorstellt (sowas was in Arztpraxen steht). Wenn du das wirklich Aktenregal nennen würdest, okay go ahead, ich will hier auf keinen Fall linguistische Vielfalt zensieren, aber ich glaube die große Mehrheit an deutschsprachigen Personen würde hier einfach “Regal” benutzen, vorallem wenn man ein Bild postet, mit dem der Kontext zu 100% klar ist.

Norgur,

Geht mehr drum, unter welchem Namen du im Möbelhaus sicher diese Sorte Regal findest. Das wäre "Aktenregal". Dass wir im Deutschen in der alltäglichen Sprache überhaupt nicht unterscheiden zwischen Bücherregal und anderweitigem Regal, ist nochmal was anderes.

ThirdWorldOrder,

They’re not even folders, they’re binders

Cap,

@ThirdWorldOrder Yep - good point, they are indeed binders.

@111000 @db2 @chemical_cutthroat @Norgur

db2,

I’d still call them bookshelves, but in this instance I’d also specify “binders on bookshelves”.

schmidtster,

While they might technically fit the loose definition, these are two ring file folders. They are definitely on a bookshelf though, so don’t why anyone would take offense to that.

TheOakTree,

It’s definitely still a bookshelf, though.
