That Beach Boys song is right you know.

This is by far my favourite spot in my house. By the bookshelves in my bedroom. It’s safe to say that I have slight obsession with books. Whenever my pay check would come in more books would be bought. Now that I’m not working I have created a list as large as my house of books that I want or as with all obsessions need to read.

So what once looked like an orderly bookcase with books arranged alphabetically in neat little rows has now become a jumbled mess with books stacked on books. Spaces that weren’t previously used for storage (i.e. the floor) are now “artfully” ¹strewn with books. Sometimes I forget I have ordered them, so much so that I have to question whether I’m not suffering from some form of short term memory loss.

However I love the fact that in this corner of my room is another world. With a population of characters and a list of places as varied as our own earth. I can travel wherever I want in these books and meet the most inspiring people all from my bed. Who wouldn’t want to travel that way?
