    It’s utterly time-consuming and I suppose pretty boring, but there’s definitely something enjoyable and cathartic about unloading and re-loading a bookshelf. Dunno what. Maybe the sound of a sliding book? The smell?

      I lived with a housemate that I met while I was in uni and we lived together throughout our studies. We decided that it was best to just combine our bookcases in what we affectionately dubbed the 'book room', which was this room in an old Victorian that had these gorgeous floor to ceiling windows that showed the entire downtown and waterfront. However, my friend/housemate was an English major who fell in love with English medieval/early renaissance literature and her shelves reflected that while my shelves just had whatever I was interested in at the time. We shared a passion for classic literature and housemate and I would always go out to the secondhand bookshops to get all the books we wanted. It's how I figured out that if you are a student of literature, that it's best hitting up the secondhand bookshops. Usually students couldn't bring back what they had to study so they'd bring them to the secondhand shops and get more books.
      We would have kept our books separate if we had the space in our rooms, but is often the case in old Victorians, you get huge common areas but small bedrooms with these horrid sloping walls/ceilings. Our bedrooms had enough space for a desk and maybe a small little bookcase for our textbooks and a bed and dresser. So putting our books in a shared space was the best option for us.
      This is an apartment in Emmie's case, so having her books on full display in the living room is the next best option. Hopefully, her roommate loves to read, too. That would be the best roommate, in my opinion. It's so rare to find one with shared interests!

    • @myownbravado
      @myownbravado 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      True but also I would be elated if my roommate had a library that I could admire and borrow from and I didn't have to pay for any of it??? That's like the absolute dream.

    Is it just me, but I have a hard time letting go of my books even though I already read them and didn't like the story. I still kept them on my shelves!

    When I moved from the house I was living in before this one I had to get rid of 24 boxes of books, because I didn't have the space for them. A second-hand bookshop came and collected them all. But it was a painful experience.
