Books - we'll never be without them

     I wasn't going to write anything today, but my coworker told me about a website that really got me excited.  Maybe you already know about it, but if you don't, let me share it with you. 
     It's called bookshelfporn.com.  Now, don't let that scare you off.  It's a sight for lovers of books!  That's what it says!  And it's got some of the coolest bookshelves you've ever seen.  Ideas you might even want to use in your house or office.
     In fact, we've even talked about doing a Christmas tree for the library out of our old used books, ones that don't sell and we haven't boxed up to send off somewhere else.
    So, it's definitely a great sight to share with you.
    Of course, once you get started on something great like that, you find yourself following a thread of websites that are also interesting.
     Such as thegreatgeekmanual.com/blog/the-world's-most-beautiful-libraries, where you can see absolutely beautiful libraries that you wish you could actually put your foot in and gawk all the way up to the ceiling.  These libraries are also on boredstop.com (you'll have to search for them), but beware! this is not the only topic on this site!  So, don't get too carried away.
     These beautiful libraries are located in Sweden, Italy, England, Switzerland, and other foreign countries.  But I did find three in the United States.  One in Seattle, one in Maryland, and the Jay Walker private library in Connecticut.
    So...if you're having a slow day and want to just play around and see what's out there on the Internet, be sure to check out these websites.
    And remember...we'll never be without books!
