Designate one bookshelf as your "memory shelf". Keep the books on the languages you learned the most from or that remind you of your best (or most horrible) projects, and place them on that shelf.
Display it prominently, and it will be become a conversation starter for every nerd that comes to your home. "OMG, I haven't thought about Dreamweaver in years!". You can then share war stories.
It will only get more fun as the years pass.
- barbazoo 4y agoThat's a really nice idea. I wish I had kept more of my books now.
- geocrasher 4y agoThat's the best use I can imagine. I love it. Whenever I visit peoples homes, I look at their bookshelves. I pick one book that may indicate something in common, and I make a comment or ask a question. It rarely fails to start a great conversation. And when you're fixing their computer and waiting half an hour for a malware scan to finish, and the customer insists on sitting there watching, such conversations are life savers. Plus, you learn a ton.
- morninglight 4y agoBooks are so heavy. If you move often, they can be a real burden, especially if they are no longer used. If you keep them as a conversation starter, try this alternative method. https://youtu.be/UqLTU9uFlPA?list=PLsgvviE9c9fBEPvopDnHcYhyNa07fxGZv&t=105 https://youtu.be/UqLTU9uFlPA?list=PLsgvviE9c9fBEPvopDnHcYhyN... .

- hashim 4y agoThis is amazing, jokes so timeless they could have been written yesterday.
- mejutoco 4y agoI like this idea, but if I did this I would have to have the conversation outside of my flat.
