You had a free bookshelf above the headboard of the bed in a spare room? Lucky you Tom Send a noteboard - 15/07/2012 01:52:42 PM
I've turned the tops of bookcases into additional shelving, the tops of some dressers and tables are filled with books, I moved cooking books into a cabinet in the kitchen, and now I'm at the point where I can buy no more. In the words of Jesus: Τετελεσθαι. It is finished. I can't buy more books, at least not now, not without moving something nice and valuable to a place I can't bear it to be.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
