I went over to my friend’s apartment yesterday and his roommate had a small bookcase in the corner lined with books. My favorite books. The Complete Works of Jane Austen, The Tales of Edgar Allen Poe, The Picture of Dorain Gray, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, The Secret Garden, etc. All leather-bound with gilded edges. It was beautiful. And it strengthened my resolve to have a library in my future house, filled with all of my favorite books.
