I do that, too. It's like an illness. If I go into someone's home and they have books behind them on a shelf or something similar, it's miserable trying to concentrate on listening to them talk. I want to browse their titles!!!
You'd probably have a problem enjoying a meal in our house. We have to huge bookcases (from Pottery Barn) in our dining room. One is full of all my fiction that I've read and want to keep (actually, we have more in the living room, as I ran out of space) and the other holds my hubby's nonfiction favorites, my cookbooks and my art books. Needless to say, I think our floor sags a bit on that side of the room (I keep telling myself this is not due to the books, but rather the age of the house - built in 1938).
If you invited me over, I have a feeling you'd be showing off your books knowing what to expect from me. :)
We've got books in every room but the bathrooms, in our home. Even the utility room has a shelf of cookbooks. I think we've been in this house way too long. The books are likely to come to life and eat us one day.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I use comment moderation because apparently my blog is a spam magnet. Don't worry. If you're not a robot, your comment will eventually show up and I will respond, with a few exceptions. If a comment smacks of advertising, contains a dubious link or is offensive, it will be deleted. I love to hear from real people! I'm a really chatty gal and I love your comments!
haha, I look at this picture and strain my eyes in the hopes I can read the titles of the books in the background. haha, go me.
