own a room full of books

i want to have my own library..a room where all the books i owned live there…stacked in a polished shelves ready to be read by myself.

Put all my books in one accessible room

I am well on my way to this goal. Every semester I come home and I have more and more books, so that all my shelves are filled and my desk is becoming overrun. My main problem is that I don’t have a room for the books to fill. I am constantly moving from one state to another. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting rid of my books… I LOVE them, but all the same… they do take up a lot of space, haha :D

book-aholic as if that was a bad thing. I don’t get it… how could one ever have too many books?

Just like in Beauty and the Beast! Okay, well. Maybe not that fancy. But God, this would be so cool!

I’m swarming in books. My bedroom is very small, so between my bed and the stacks of books, there isn’t much space.

Ok, I’ve got a few room fulls and the major part of a storage room and some overflow into the kitchen. Now all I need are floor to ceiling book cases to accomodate them all! (Back, back I say – I am not parting with a single one!)

I suggest the following libraries: Great Books, Loeb Classical, Modern Library all OED editions and expand from there. We have over 5,000 books and we’re out of space (well, just enough space for vinyl ;)) – and it is a bit oppressive and dust-collecting…and of course we never have the books we want to read!! My husband and I met in the used-book biz and it’s been an uphill battle to balance other decoration with books and records. It’s not the best idea unless you have a lot of shelves and space, but it’s nice to know that other people actually read these days!

my apartment has reached full capacity. i currently have about 2 full bookshelves of books and anymore books would result in a lack of floor space….maybe one day when i afford a bigger place…

I own a room full of books. It just overwhelms me. There are books I own I will probably never read. I cannot part with the books, but they are just taking up space. I buy more books! I do read some of them…I am a book-aholic!
