This is not my beautiful house, but oh, how I wish it were.
Look at those books! Shelves and shelves of them!
And wow! Get a load of this bad boy! Gorgeous!
I’m feeling flushed and giddy! Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I just spent the afternoon in the self-indulgent pursuit of the biblio-rotic. I’m talking about Bookshelf Porn. That’s right, I’ll cop to it, and I won’t be ashamed!
Bookshelf Porn as the website says “is porn for book lovers. A photoblog collection of all the best bookshelf photos for people who *heart* bookshelves.”
I’m a book lover. I ♥ all things book, and after spending time at this site, I have to admit that I ♥ bookshelves, too. Now I’m lusting after about 99% of the shelves I gawked at.
All this book love made me think of my favorite Groucho Marx quote:
“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
While we’re on the subject, Groucho also said,
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
I’ll admit, I probably spent nearly two hours looking at all those gorgeous bookshelf pictures, so now, if you’ll please excuse me … I need to go read.
Take that, Kindle!
