I have two quite large houses, and every cupboard and drawer is stuffed with books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The thing with bookshelves, no matter how many you have, you always fill them.
Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.
Books do furnish a room.
The bedroom in my apartment is far too small to hold a nightstand. There is, however, this bookshelf. Yes, I stow whatever I'm reading on the lower shelf, but more importantly, it's where I keep a collection of ghost books.
I have three libraries. As a gift, a friend alphabetized and organized my main library of novels, history books, and nonfiction. Then I have a photo-book collection. Then there's this nearly whole room of my childhood books. I've also got cookbooks and a big collection of horse-related books.
My house is completely organized from my closets to my drawers.
Books don't only furnish a room: they also make the best holiday gifts.
I don't really have a domestic inclination. Even my apartment has a semblance of a storage facility. It's just stacks, there are no bookshelves, just books and piles of stamp collections and weird little sewing and knitting projects.
I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.
