Our book debate on symbolism got upstaged by my faulty bookshelf assembly
We were picking apart the metaphors in 'The Great Gatsby' when the shelf I built collapsed. Books flew everywhere, mixing Fitzgerald with my DIY manuals. The group spent the rest of the evening sorting novels instead of discussing themes. I guess my craftsmanship is a bigger topic than the green light now.

Wall anchors are the unsung heroes of home projects, honestly. People forget that drywall crumbles under weight without proper support, especially with heavy books. You need to find a stud or use heavy-duty anchors rated for the load, not just those little plastic ones. It's a lesson learned the hard way, usually after the crash.

Mixing Fitzgerald with your DIY manuals means you gotta check your wall anchors first.

My friend skipped checking wall anchors, now his Fitzgerald books are on the floor.
