Right? Just thinking about all the yarn that could come out of the big Rubbermaid tubs and into the light... I wonder if sections are modifiable. :)

Ma'am those books might be infected. I'm going to need to inspect them and possibly confiscate some if they pose a danger. Ma'am can you step away from the books? Can you stop rubbing the books ma'am?

Yeah, that would do nicely....although I'm not sure it's enough bookspace, I have a fuckton of books. Maybe I should open my own library.

Well, I know it wouldn't be enough book space for us, but it was "clean". 

I prefer the size, as well as the second story balcony of books on the following... but it is way too "busy" for my taste.  Eliminate the guilding, the drapes, the carpet, and half the furniture... not to mention get rid of those sconce chandeliers (I feel like the room is going to tilt to the right at any moment), and this would suit me much better.

Technology is great... don't get me wrong.  We have over a hundred thousand books in electronic format, and several kinds of devices with which to read or listen to them.  In fact, Firm never has less than 2000 books with him on his phone at any given time. 

However, there's just something special about a physical book... the feel, the weight, even the smell of ink.  To curl up in a comfortable seat in a warm and inviting room, and spend hours lost in the pages of a real book in your hands... there's nothing like it.

Absolutely! I need the physical book in my hands, there is no way I'll ever buy a Kindle or some such thing unless (God forbid) bookstores close.
