Do I try to? Hmm.... not sure if I try. But I need to. I have to be my own eccentric self with my own unusual stims and mannerisms and habits, or I wuther.

Which section of the library would you attend first?

Are you into the art of book preservation?



I currently have a very important book restoration to do on my 1901 edition of Villette. An entire signature has fallen loose. I'm debating whether to have it done professionally, or repair it on my own. I have the required materials but I'm afraid.

You?

I don’t have much experience with it. But it’s a fascinating art.

How do you feel about the 14th century Italian Renaissance in painting?

I'd hit up the Literary Biographies, then b-line to the Brontë novels, followed by George Eliot and Thomas Hardy in rapid succession. I hope the chairs are comfie and private, with a view of water and wind.

Are you reading any fiction currently?

Meh.
lol

I prefer the impressionists because it's somewhat similar to the experience of synaesthesia.

How do you feel about Van Gogh's Poppy Field?

I like oversized, undersized and traditionally-sized books.

Do you like reading the indices?

Yes, I like to see what pages my favorite subjects in a book are located.

Do you like reading the Contents page of a book?

Yes, I like the indices and the Contents page. I also read every scrap of Introduction, Preface, Criticism, Endnote, etc on fiction novels.

Do you organize your (home) books in ABC order, or by genre, or not at all?

I hope you weren’t shocked by my brother’s wedding picture yesterday.

I’m pretty random as far as the arrangement of my books is concerned.

Dewey Decimal, or Library of Congress?
