Last night my husband and I were watching the Stargate episode where Sam's new boyfriend is teasing her about quirkiness. He makes a comment that goes something like: "as long as you don't have alphabetized bookshelves...".
My husband looked at me and grinned his "you have weird quirkinesses" smile.
You see, I not only want my bookshelves alphabetized---I want them arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System. This has been a dream of mine ever since I began collecting books in my early childhood.
People keep telling us we need a bigger place because we have a lot of kids. They're all only half way right. Yes, a bigger place is needed...but not for the kids' sake. If we were to have one more bedroom than we have now, it would not be for kids---it would be for my dream library.
All arranged as Dewey would do it.
Not a little OCD about book organization, are you?
ReplyDeleteI saw where someone was using stacks of books as furniture but my kids would just spread them around and not leave them all stacked up neatly.
I agree with this. I would love a library room with floor to ceiling shelves and those little ladders that roll along the wall.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the Dewey Decimal System is the only logical way to store books. I'm just too lazy to implement it at my house.
I agree with you, once I get Emily moved upstairs and make her current room my den, I want to Dewey-ize the books.
