When I think of ‘Mine’ the first thoughts are of my books. They are an important part of my life. Just reading them is not enough, I want to own them. So every time I buy a new book I also buy one that I’ve already read (from library during my school and college years).
I am very possessive about my books and cannot bear any harm to them. One thing that I’m not proud to admit is that I tend to judge people from the way they treat books, specially mine. Only my close friends and a few who I can trust get to borrow books from me. And heaven help the person who damages, or worse, loses my book. He/She is forever blacklisted.
On display are a few of my books.

Nice collection
thank you.. 🙂
Nice! I had the same thought!
thank you Deepa. All book lovers would think the same…:)
I completely understand what you mean about books. I love mine as well and I just can’t imagine an e-reader. What’s to put on the shelf???? A favorite song line of mine, about finishing a book is, “I put my book on the shelf with my heart in it.” That’s what I do with a book I have really connected with, whose characters became friends, who I grew attached to, I like the book near me, even when our time together is over. 🙂
Beautifully said. I couldn’t have have put it better. 🙂
I second you on that. Good to know that you are also Ayn Rand fan. All intelligent people are !! I hope you understand ! 😀
I’ve put Ayn Rand books in my drawing room showcase so that people would know how intelligent I am..:D
