I'm the sort of person who would be perfectly happy spending an entire day in a rare books room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.
Books don't only furnish a room: they also make the best holiday gifts.
Whenever I have a few hours to dive into a book, I am happy.
Books do furnish a room.
In this time of the Internet and nonfiction, to be on an actual bookshelf in an actual bookstore is exciting in itself.
I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
If I was a book, I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different sorts of kids.
I love rare books. Not that I own a lot of them, mind you. You couldn't quite call me a rare-book collector. But I did once work in a rare-books library, and I wrote a novel about a rare book.
My main wish is to get my books into other people's rooms, and to keep other people's books out of mine.
