If you ever get to Dublin, you should investigate Marsh's Library - a haven for bibliophiles. Perhaps we could meet behind the stacks and consult some old first editions together?

Absolutely

True... It's not quite what I would expect. Thou it did remind me I should finally unpack my books and put them on shelves

That's a shelving system? I thought at first they were stacked like that; I thought "damn, if you wanted the bottom book you'd be screwed".

It does give that impression at first.

Great thread. I read all the time and have boxes of books. Almost as often as I have naughty thoughts, I have fantasies of having a nice library of my own with hardwood floors and a ladder on rails to make the books on the top shelf more easily accessible. Almost as often...

It's Ulysses's birthday. Happy 92nd, great book of the Twentieth Century. And happy 132nd to its author, James Joyce.

No, it isn't. It's awful. The only Joyce worth reading is Dubliners.
