Books...Libraries...Heaven

So, have I ever shared how much I LOVE books? I LOVE books! All kinds of books, but mainly biographies, leadership books, and the classics. I inherited this love of books from my family.

Someday Aaron and I are going to have a huge library. I mean huge! Here are some pictures of what my dream library would look like.

I want to have the Harvard 50 in our home, but have you ever seen that list? Check it out! http://www.bartleby.com/hc/. Massive list, eh? But what a great collection!

"The Harvard Classics
The most comprehensive and well-researched anthology of all time comprises both the 50-volume “5-foot shelf of books” and the the 20-volume Shelf of Fiction. Together they cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject through the twentieth century."

Who has time to read all of those books? Although we lead busy lives, I'm learning that if I carry a book with me everywhere I go, I get a lot of reading done. I read on the way to work and back (yes, while I'm walking) and I often read on my downtime before class.

This "Beauty and the Beast," library is very similar to my dream library.
