These are things that should be on my shelf, however, I do not have enough space for them. Ergo, they end up in front of the TV. They make a pretty decent accent, if I may say so myself.
My apartment is littered with books. I shame Mother Earth with the amount of paper I have in my apartment (books, journals, cute and useless what-nots). I've been trying to curb this seemingly obsessive compulsion I have to acquire printed material. I try not to print at work, but at home, I have countless paperbacks. I say it's because I can't seem to keep myself engaged with an e-book. It does not give you the same feeling as reading from an actual paper. I've been having this weird conversations with myself, What If (Kate Winslet) I got an e-reader? It would probably do the trick. I'm just not sure just how comfortable I'd be with that. Or I may just be finding an excuse to spend on another gadget.
