I have a friend who built some wonderful shallow bookshelves calculated to just fit paperback novels. And frank as she is about reading, she put them where they needed to be, in the bathroom. :) The shelf is where they won't get wet, and it isn't like they're read cover to cover in there, but it was a good use of blank wall space!

I agree with some of the calculations above. Even here in Fort Worth where we have some of the lowest housing prices in the nation, I predict that you still couldn't get that much house and that location unless you put down a $100,000 more than you're paying there.
