This is the bookcase in my office. With the exception of a half dozen books on the bottom right hand shelf (including my autographed copy of Obama's The Audacity of Hope), every single book is road-related. The top two right hand shelves are all Route 66. On the left side, I have a shelves of motel books, diner books, petrobilia, and auto books.All books that aren't roadside related are in other bookcases in the house and in about 20-30 boxes in the basement. And now I'm getting a Kindle (I wish it would hurry up and arrive!), so I won't have to worry about where to put books in the future.

Hmm, looks verrrrry familiar. ;)
Love the Big Boy figurines :o)
Obama is from Chicago and made a stop on Route 66 in Lebanon, Mo., during the campaign. I think that makes his book road-related. :)
Emily,
Sarah was lucky enough to get to sit with Obama for an hour or so when he was on his book tour and visited the bookstore she manages in Chicago, which is how I got the autographed copy. I believe he also visited Joplin during his campaign (and probably several other Route 66 cities. But I was just thinking... if I collected every book written by every author who had ever visited a Route 66 city, I might need a bookcase approximately the size of, oh... the Library of Congress. :-)
Looks like my bookshelf. But mine is made up of spy thrillers, biographies, books about Harley-Davidson, "Blue Highways", "The Grapes of Wrath", a few Bibles, and many others too numerous to mention.
I don't know about you, I have a lot of books, most of which will probably never be read...but, I did look at the pictures.
Keeping up the appearances of being smart.
