I've always wanted to have an extensive collection of books .. sadly I just don't get enough time to organize such a collection. May be one day. And the books won't be the modern day novels .. but usually works of great writers.
Hello from France! Funny you should blog on books today, I have been trying to unpack ( finally) my late husbands books and arrange them in the library. he had such a passion for reading great literature, and has some oriinal editions I think.
From my studio in Hampstead, North Carolina, I solder and bind together books of various sizes. These books may become the archives for thoughts, memories and photographs.
I am also a fiber artist and a nature printer, and I love to share my knowledge with others.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." – Melody Beattie

Looking, Walking, Being
I look and look. Looking's a way of being: one becomes, sometimes, a pair of eyes walking. Walking wherever looking takes one.
The eyes dig and burrow into the world. They touch fanfare, howl, madrigal, clamor. World and the past of it, not only visible present, solid and shadow that looks at one looking.
And language? Rhythms of echo and interruption? That's a way of breathing.
breathing to sustain looking, walking and looking, through the world, in it.

How many of these are you going to carve up? Some really interesting bindings there.

Books! My late husband was an avid collector / reader. I moved in to my new home a year and a half ago and I am still trying to sort out the library!
