I’ve never counted the number of volumes, but there are about 64’ of bookshelves in our apartment. Can’t really say every room. Our living room and dining room are sort of one, but if there were a wall beween them there’d be no books in the living room. None permenently housed there anyway, there is a stack of 4 or five on the end table, and one or two tucked in cubbies in the coffee table - oh and the library table is in there…yeah - books in every room. Not the bathrooms though, my husband takes extremely hot steamy showers. Books would wilt in there. I park a book on the dressing table right outside the lavatory.
My sister house and dog-sat for a co-worker once and at first she couldn’t put her finger on what was seeming not quite right. Then it dawned on her - no books. None. No magazines. NOTHING to read. At all. It freaked her out.
oh and Dinsdale, count me as a “me too” in your poll!
