I checked out an armload of books from the Toronto Public Library
today, indulging in a little fiction (ah, Regency romances with their
ever-so-proper heroines!), growing my mind with business books,
enriching my soul with reflections on life.

Hmm. I’m starting to strongly feel the need for a bookshelf. Actually,
le’s start with a shelf that can double as a work surface or food
serving surface, at most 162 cm long, 59 cm wide, and 90 cm tall.
Preferably a bit lower, because I find that lower counters are easier
for me to cut on. Also, I would like an adjustable shelf so that I can
use it to store books, games, and serving stuff.

Books would be nice to keep around. Then I can add a new note to my
tea parties. People who feel the need to drop out of the conversation
temporarily in order to recharge can read books without any social
stigma… ;) Because my place is so small, they can’t actually get
isolated from the conversation. They’ll still hear everything that’s
going on, and they can jump in any time they want to rejoin the
conversation.

But yes, books and a book case for this book-nutcase… =)
