The picture with the stack of books on the tapestry(?) covered chair looked like one of those "designer" things where books are purchased for their size/color and then carefully placed to look nice. Never opened, never read.
And several years ago the Post magazine section, in their home decor issue, had a picture of a "library" ... which drew a lot of fire because there wasn't a single book to be seen. A small room with all these lovely shelves ... used to display a collection of art glass. Pretty, yes. Library, no.
Is this where I get to gloat and say I have whole room for books in my apartment (though I have several shelves worth in other rooms)? That counts as a library, right? Of course, it's also got a futon, so it doubles as a guest bedroom.

We're slowly re-organizing the dining room to turn it into a library, with a table off to one side that we can eat at. Because our huge dining table? Is not used for dining. It is used for storing books, and for having a gazillion clothing alteration projects (with extra fabric, buttons, and trim) heaped upon.
Quick literary hive mind question:
What is the name of womb/birth symbolism? I know it has a name and can't remember it. Also, is there a name for the female version of "phallic" symbolism?
I don't know if it's the correct term; just that I've heard it before.
Looks like it googles well. Now to find the womb/birthing term.
paisleys are symbolic of the womb. I know that's not what you're looking for but it's a fun fact I like to share often.
ok , still reading
Rebel Angels.
