If you have a book you want me to read, tell me here. I'll read it and perhaps I'll write about it along with my own books. That or ask me something, it matters not. I like talking to strangers.

A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner

This was in Philadelphia, in a large room on the second floor of a three-story house on Baltimore Avenue. … [T]here were books, lots of them. Books lined the mantel of the bricked-up fireplace. Books were stacked at the foot of the bed; they were strewn on the floor around the desk like a blast radius. Piles of books that frequently collapsed into small landslides annexed the nightstand. A stray book or two often lay on the floor in the middle of the room, the aftermath of hasty between-class transitions. For the first time in my life, I felt I had too many books.

—An excellent essay by James Santel in The Paris Review Daily on whether there is such thing as having too many books. (via niconovito)

I’ve blogged this before, but goddamn do I still need one!! Too bad I’m completely broke and job hunting so I can move again.

I just did the one thing I said I’d never do. Never. Never ever ever do.

…I double and tripled stacked my books on my bookshelves. ;-;

It was for a good cause! I’m at that point where I was legitimately out of bookshelf space. Besides… It is kinda nice having a solid wall of books now. :D Pictures later.
