“Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
Wise words from the woman who is probably most famous for her extended essay A Room of One’s Own. That room for me was always going to be a library, for Virginia it was her ability to choose the life she wanted as a writer. I have always been surrounded by books, from a young age I was often found in a quiet corner reading.
Virginia Woolf.
25 January 1882–28 March 1941.
From one gen to the next surround yourself, and your home, with things you love.
