"Great wooden bookcases would reach for the high, vaulted ceiling, whose skylights and chandeliers would flood the chamber with gentle, sparkling light. Rolling ladders in the Victorian style would give access to volumes on the upper shelves, and window seats, tables with sturdy chairs, and study carrels would provide a place for contemplative thought."

When we finally build our dream-home (someday, when we stop galavanting around the world), it will be designed around a magnificent library. The last time the army moved us, we were a ton (literally: 2000 lbs) over our alloted weight, due to our enormous collection of books.

This is pulled from some of my unpublished writings, but further descriptions of the building this room is ostensibly in may be found in "the Undead Thread."

We call it "The Castle", and it even has a moat!

That lofty vision, by the way, is somewhat deflated by the paragraph that follows it:

"None of that would be happening soon. Right now there were tables, all right, but not library tables. Fabric and paper patterns covered sewing tables adjoining buzzing sewing machines. Already three ladies were industriously fashioning garments to be presented to the judges in the costume and wardrobe department."
