We did the white-trash version of that in my parent's previous house. What a pain in the ass it was to move them out.

I used to give my evil ex my less-than-precious books whenever I had a clearout. He had a loft-style open plan flat in a converted factory, and had a shelf running round 1/2 of it above door height.
He was a reader, but rarely read anything I gave him, unless I specifically recommended it. But because he did read, the implication was that the hundreds of books used by him as decoration were actually his treasured possessions. I stopped giving them to him when he started entertaining other ladies there. I couldn't stop him straying, but I could stop myself adding to his allure. Of course I should have just stopped seeing him... better late than never.

I notice they have a book on the sofa. Did they run out of room?

That's a "coffee table book", but there's no coffee table.

It looks lovely, but it's not an inviting room for a reader. I too need my books within arm's reach -that was one of our critria for house hunting -so many houses round here are so open-plan there is simply no wall space for bookshelves

I love the room itself, but don't like any of the furnishings, except the guitar. I'd not keep my current books up there, maybe just some treasured collectibles interspersed with non-reading material collectibles.
I'd probably put a curving chaise lounge on either end of the span of windows, with two low ultra modern, half moon couch thingies in the middle forming a broken circle around a big centerpiece type coffee table. I'd arrange the seating so one could sit on them and see out the windows, not sit with one's back to them! In any case, my furniture would echo the room's shape and bring the eye from the uppermost shelves and collectibles down to the center table. Yeah. That's what I'd do...with that room and unlimited funds .

I can take or leave the room. I really don't like the link. AVG didn't like it either.

Which link? I use AVG, and don't have a problem with either one.

Oh, it was the link that said 'link'. Not the one that says 'via'.

I've seen those, but not at that link. Never click OK, unless you know what and who.
