They look beautiful, to me. Biased me. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, a house without books is strange. I know people who have zero books lying about, though, come to think of it. My friend Judy reads about one book every 10 years. Her husband reads about a book a day, but he keeps them at work or in his car. I get along famously with my friend's husband.

I know I am. <BR/><BR/>When I was doing a little research on selling houses, not long ago (because I knew we were going to have to get my mother's house into selling condition), I found out books are considered "clutter" by most people. Real estate agents advise homeowners to remove all books when they get ready to sell. I think a house looks cold without them, don't you?<BR/><BR/>Chartroose!!<BR/><BR/>Yes!! You're the first person to catch that. "The Trouble with Angels" is one of my all-time favorite movies and I've been saying, "I've got a scathingly brilliant idea" since I was a kid, because of it. I thought it would be funny to use it for my comment button. :)<BR/><BR/>My books wouldn't fit under the bed and if they tried, I'm sure a fight would break out. They're really good at climbing all over every surface, though.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-45189485626646591752008-11-01T17:56:00.000-05:002008-11-01T17:56:00.000-05:00Hey, I just realized that "scathingly brilliant" i...Hey, I just realized that "scathingly brilliant" is from "The Trouble With Angels."

I ha...I have no doubt I wouldn't be able to leave. I have a true weakness for looking at other people's books and sometimes I think I have radar at being able to find them. When my husband and I were toying with the idea of buying a house a few months ago I was shocked at how many houses didn't have books!! But I enjoyed sneaking a peak at those who did. I always find it so interesting what other people have on their shelves (or stacks, or piles).Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-79509426386364664722008-11-01T09:49:00.000-05:002008-11-01T09:49:00.000-05:00Kailana,If you'd move just a little bit closer (in...Kailana,<BR/><BR/>If you'd move just a little bit closer (inside the American border, maybe), I'd dump some novels on you.<BR/><BR/>We're a reading household, here.

I'll drop by to see yours, later. We're about to head out the door. I'll just assume it's scathingly brilliant because you commented, here.

Killed. Eaten. <BR/><BR/>Trish,<BR/><BR/>I can't even express how many books we really have. Let's just say if you walked in the door you'd have trouble walking out. I can imagine you going from shelf to shelf, like my mother. Every time my mother visited, she first chastised me for owning so many books and then she sat down to read them and went home with a box full -- every time. LOL<BR/><BR/>Leah had that button at her blog. It's nice, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, and you know another great online research tool?

When I get around to it I think I'll steal your button, too. ;) I've never seen a meme button but I like the idea of not having to type out (or cut and paste) all the crap.<BR/><BR/>Man that is a lot of books!! I have my fair share, but since hubby isn't a reader they are mostly confined to my office. He jokes about why do I need so many books just sitting on the bookshelf, but I always retort with the fact that his books are all in boxes...at least mine are on the shelf.<BR/><BR/>I love that you used to collect non-fiction books just in case. Now a lot of that can be found on the Internet! I remember using the shelf encyclopedia for school when I was younger and I don't even know if they are made anymore?Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-44704034652623234662008-11-01T07:42:00.000-05:002008-11-01T07:42:00.000-05:00I love The Book Uprising!I love The Book Uprising!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-12263335237184877892008-11-01T07:27:00.000-05:002008-11-01T07:27:00.000-05:00I love the old dust jackets, too!

Only one out of most of my friends, actually, so my books have found themselves all over everywhere, when really they have one nice place to locate themselves... <BR/><BR/>I go through reading spurts too, where I like one type of book over another. Actually, this year I have read more non-fiction than fiction in many cases, so I find myself needing some good novels!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
