A glimpse of my home library


A glimpse of my home library <---- This link is to the same photo with interactive notes.

Even tho' the above photo was taken several months ago, It's still a good shot of my favorite room in the house. Actually the shelves are more full than at the time of this photo. I read something about the love of books being indicative of some need but I can't remember what it was. Perhaps the need to stave off oblivion? The need for security of some kind? I do love books. Even with all the books in my library that I have not read, I still check out dozens of books from the public library at a time. I dabble and browse. Often I'll return a book after reading only a few pages. I relish luxuriating in the options of knowledge at my fingertips.
