                                      That would have defined my mother as an intellectual, but her bookcases were full of trinkets.

                                          It depends on the size not on the quantity ;)

                                          Books in two rows - one behind the other? Funny. For those who read a lot, the problem is always the same. We've got a guestroom called "Library", our living room and our office filled with books. I think today there must be two thousand. And the most were read by both of us.
