SO TRUE!!!
"About the books on my shelf - Many of the books I have I have not read, I just want to be the sort of person who has read those books."

This made me laugh, I thought of my book collection and my fathers too.
I pray the choice of books that find their way to my shelves; will be more about the quality of spiritual fiber woven into my inner life, then mere looks.
There is something about the look of a book, the smell and feel of it as well.
Call me strange but there are few things more luxurious than holding, smelling and beholding a well crafted book!
