My ideal would be to live in a library|||I find it very interesting that you have some by C.S. Lewis and also by Charles Darwin. (: You're obviously a very open-minded person.

I'm kind of an organisation freak though. I always make sure that books by the same author remain in the same grouping on my shelf, in alphabetical order. This is probably completely pointless as I rarely read two books in a row by the same author; I like the comparison to be between completely different novels.





Thanks for the great question!
