When I have my own house (and am wealthy) I really want to have a library. An old-fashioned library with pretty furniture, a fireplace and all that. And lots of books. That'd be perfect. Now I think I shall finish "David Copperfield" to justify my overlining it!
Have you been reading any good books lately? :)
