To me, the nicest luxury would be to have a room where I could keep all my books in one place - and have space for more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our house has a library - it seemed better use of the space than as a dining room! - and I try to spend as much time in there as possible. There's nothing better while reading or writing than to be surrounded by books.
I'm the sort of person who would be perfectly happy spending an entire day in a rare books room.
Books were the window from which I looked out of a rather meager and decidedly narrow room onto a rich and wonderful universe. I loved the look and feel of books, even the smell... Libraries were treasure houses. I always entered them with a slight thrill of disbelief that all their endless riches were mine for the borrowing.
Books don't only furnish a room: they also make the best holiday gifts.
I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
My whole thing is, I collect what I know I want to read, and I have certain bookshelves in my bedroom that contain all the books I haven't read yet.
Books do furnish a room.
My main wish is to get my books into other people's rooms, and to keep other people's books out of mine.
I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.
