One day I’d like to have a home library with a big cozy armchair, a ladder to reach the high shelves, and tons of natural light. In the meantime I should probably watch less TV, start reading more, and build up my book collection.

Check out these classic books at Anthropologie. $2 used books are more my speed, but wouldn’t these look beautiful lined up on a shelf?
Do you have any book recommendations? What’s your favorite classic book? I hated Great Expectations and loved Brave New World.

Absolute favorite class novel is Anna Karenin (often called Anna Karenina.) Really great read.
Those books are sooo awesome. That’d be so cute for one single small bookshelf/area that needs a little something. But if I were building a big library like you said, I’d go with the $2 books as well. Just because it would drive me crazy they all didn’t match like the other pretty ones LOL. I so don’t have enough books for a library either and I’m a total reader… I post up mine all on paperbackswap.com unless I *REALLY* love it (have about 20 or so). You should make an account on Goodreads.com. That really gets you reading.
I am afraid none of the chairs in the pictures look very comfy for curling up in. I am sure you would find the perfect reading chair. Be sure to post it when you do. As for a favorite book… I will have to think on that one.
Stephanie – I added Anna Karenin to my wishlist. : )
Kelly – Oh my gosh, paperbackswap.com and goodreads.com both look awesome! I’m going to go try them out right away. Thanks!
I love the Penguin Classics books. I’ve gotten mine off Amazon, so they’re closer to $13 than $20, not too bad. As for classics, I love Oliver Twist and Kidnapped. I’m also a sucker for anything Jules Verne and Mark Twain. Such great imagery from those two.
big libraries with the ladders like that always remind me of beauty and the beast :)
Wit & Whistle- You’re welcome! Thank you for the Twitter @reply with the referral idea! So sweet.
Michelle- Same, I start thinking about Gaston. LOL, “No one talks like Gaston, no one laughs like Gaston,” la la la la.
