Planning for the Future Post #2
The house I want will have a library. Not just a bookshelf or two, but a library. A whole room dedicated to the idea of reading. I've gone to people's homes...people who have children...and seen nary a book or bookshelf. There are so many things wrong with that. Books allow hear the voices and ideas of those beyond our time, or to learn the thoughts of people on the other side of the world. To not read, ugh.
I'd like it to be a good sized room, with natural light if possible, with lots of wood in a burnished dark brown. Floor to ceiling bookshelves. A comfortable leather chair or two, with ottomans. Chairs big enough to curl up in and get lost in an adventure, or fall asleep in with book resting on your chest. A small book table or two. A little art. If there is room, maybe a bookshelf that hides a secret door that leads to a little room where I keep acrylic models of spaceships and 3D maps of places.
No computer...that's a separate room, no stereo, just books. A place where you could sit down with a good book and get lost in your own mind.

You know the one thing I've always wanted, ever since I was a little kid?
My own personal library. Just like the one you described. Books, books and more books.
It never occurred to me to have a secret room though. That's such a cool idea that I'm stealing it for my own dream home.
