Beautiful.
Sadly I have not read most of my books.
One of my projects is to try to distill the thousands down into a mere five bookshelves of favorites. The attic is full of boxes. Every now and then I pull a box out, choose a couple of books to save, and take the rest to a secondhand store.
I adore old textbooks. And old do-it-yourself books. And cookbooks. And mid-1900's fiction with colorful covers. Mostly I like the looks of them. But I have a few classics that I actually like to read and re-read.
