♥ i have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.

 via bookshelf porn & i am an age old tree.

...and scholarly people, they tend to last as long as anyone. 

they like sitting around reading all the books there are.

and then they love arguing about them. 

some of those arguments 

-she cast her eye to the heavens-

go on for millennium after millennium.

it just seems to keep them young, for some reason, 

arguing about books.

tonight i met with the ladies from my book club, our 'literary salon' if you will-
and i have to say there is nothing i enjoy more than talking about books.
ok, well maybe talking about clothes and boys and cats, but i digress..

i also must report that after receiving nearly 30 new books
to add to our marital bookshelf, my desire to buy more
books has not diminished a single bit.
i have a problem.

anyone else need to join BBA-
book buyers anonymous?
