Stilly, that is a great idea, and if I were the only book worm, it would work well. I do plan to lump books together according to type, but it would be a bloody miracle of all the alphabetized books stayed in place! I do plan to keep fiction on one wall, maritime books in one location, music books in another, but don't know how long those ambitions will keep up. Wish me luck!

It is amazing what we do for our children that plants seeds for later. My daughter has tried very hard to concentrate in college in areas I know nothing about. What is the topic of her current mid-junior-year crisis? "I wanna study music and be a musician!!!"
(she's going to forge ahead with her economics degree and keep playing that guitar and writing songs in the meantime).

Kat, it does sound as though the light has returned! Isn't it therapeutic to get a job like that done?
