Bookcases

[lankeela]

Seeing all the videos of people from home with their bookcases in the background makes me wonder how many people have got a full bookcase and when was the last time you actively read any of the books on them? I use mine a lot for reference for dog shows but very rarely actually take a book down to read one. I wonder if some of them are ever even touched?

I have two bookcases in my bedroom. One holds novels I have read, the other holds reference books which I used to consult before I invented the internet. Just cannot bring myself to throw any of the books out. Not like deleting them on the Kindle.

As a child I always had my nose in a book. Mum told me that she couldn't get through to me when I was immersed in a book. I wish I had that sort of concentration again! Books mean a lot to me and I have no wish for a Kindle. I love the smell of books - new ones and musty ones.
