Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
Arnold Lobel
We love books and we love to read. I just didn't appreciate how many books we had until we had to do an emergency clearance of one of the bookcases yesterday (we needed to access the central heating pump - long story). Anyway, the contents of just one bookcase has taken up half the floor of our lounge! While not quite a mile high, if we added all our other books to the pile I think we could safely say it would be quite a tall order. The Arnold Lobel quote is very appropriate as most of the books in the house actually belong to my (bearded) hubby and he certainly hasn't read them all yet.

Love that quote. Ended up nicking it for my own blog lol. I doubt I'll start growing a beard (I should hope not!), but the rest is sure true :)
