Having My Own Library with a Secret Door That Opens When a Certain Book Is Pulled from the Shelf

Know what another benefit is to this goal?  You have to have a library filled with books in order for it to come true ... and as we all know, houses with large and expensive libraries in them are usually nice houses, which means that if I aim for this one goal in life, I will end up rich and happy!  (Or at least rich.  As some people with libraries in their houses are secluded hermits who live on after death in the nightmares of the small village's children and do extremely strange things with medical paraphernelia.  Dr. Frankenstein, I am not.)

Secludedly,

Kittilyn.

You should have stopped at rich and happy, and left out that parenthetical explanation, I would like to be rich also some day. I never say I want to be rich and happy, I already am happy; rich would simply complete the puzzle. Although... they do say money changes people... Okay at worst I hope to be eccentric.

But I am off-topic, maybe if we have three books, that, when pulled off the shelf in precisely the right order, PRESTO! We are in the secret room.

sniff. sorry.  I promise I won't ramble again.

Who would have guessed that this subject would reach page two

I'm not surprised, this is a really cool topic. Awwww, Kittilyn, that's alright we all ramble from time to time, it's good to do that. It helps clear your head.

I guessed it on page one… cause i'm just THAT good! Don't question it…

you did and that was a week ago – you are clever!

Wow,it's truly the amazing discovery of the century!!!!All hail the mighty MastaKink!!!

Damn straight!

So,the mighty MastaKink,can you predict whether are we heading for the third page?!?

Okay, I'm now setting powers on cruise… done!

People, people! Focus! We're all rambling. Secret door remember… ?

Damn this A.D.D.!!!

That's not important right now... what's important is that we find the perfect book to use to open the door...

...and you started it anyway Maybellene ;P

I need a secret passage like this to store my collection of por- ...uh, books! <.<

Okay, how 'bout we stay with the Hillary Clinton book, whether it's obvious or not people can pick it out and look at it, because with the retina scan, it won't work!! Muhahahaahahahahhwaaaa!!

It needs to be a book that no one would ever read but everyone has on the shelf – Satanic verses>?

How about the 'Guinness Book of Records'? If you had the most up-to-date one and an older one, then nobody would get the older one out, because, what's the point?

good one!

Okay, that can be the choice for your book. I don't see any reason we all shouldn't have our own "certain" book. Isn't that what the category suggests?

Yup,totally agree!I'll stick with The three little pigs!

ooh tough.  I'm gonna have to go with the Bible, as the secret book.  most people interested in it have their own copy, and honesly how often does someone need it as a reference?  unless you're unsure of the morality of an act you are thinking of committing ... also, who asked you, "hey, could I see your Bible?" or, "ooh, a new edition.  can I check it out?"

KITTILYN.

Great idea!! Unfortunately I have Bible parties every week at my place, not only that but I carry my Bible on my person 24/7… you never know when you might stray from the Lord's path…

Drat.  You're screwed, then.  Be more like an atheist.

I'll use my diary. Nobody would want to read that.

And if they did, they'd fall asleep anyway.

Well… it's half true, I do carry my bible everywhere, what I failed to mention is that it's hollowed out and holds a flask of rum… ;)

nice, MastaKink.  very religious, that is.  :)

thats more like it

I always assumed it was behind the bookcase. When the door is activated, the shelf opens up.

It could be in the wall, maybe a large mural that swings out. A staircase in the floor is another idea.

I saw this on Digg ages ago. These guys actually build hidden doors in bookcases: http://www.hiddenpassageway.com/

Now thats a website for when i win the lottery

Oh, good spot Luke! That's what it's all about!

Perfect site Luke, what a cool business to be in. I would love to answer the phones in that place! They must get some pretty wild requests. Awesome! I'd have passageways going all over the house.

Like in Cluedo! (Clue in the US, I think.) Then you could hold great murder mystery parties!

Yes, just like Clue.

Cool site!

I'l have to remember that site when I get around to having my mansion built.

Oooh mystery,i like mystery!Sent the invite to me!
