Yay! A bookcase picture! With cats thrown in! (Not literally, of course! I can just see their outraged looks if you tried any such thing!) I'm now going to try to zoom in and see some of the titles (next best thing to a proper browse...) Do I spot some Penguin Classics?
The cats and I thank you for your comments. Penny - I reduced the photo to upload so doubt you'll be able to get much joy from zooming in. Yes you do see a lot of Penguin and Oxford World's Classics, I studied eighteenth and nineteenth century novels so have quite a few (a great tip from a tutor of mine - write an A-Z index in the back of the book you're reading and jot down important details there as you're reading, it really helps!). Barbara - Pepper is mortified that you think she looks like Charlie. She had to meditate next to the Buddha for an hour last night to calm her nerves :O)
Laloofah - how do you come across such great finds? I am ordering that book from Amazon (Pepper insisted). Posky also said he was actually looking for a copy of the poems of Catullus, but it was hidden amongst works on Catalonia which made him feel quite catatonic :O)
LOL, That's impressive, but I think Posky is just showing off his erudition, and that what he was REALLY looking for was The Cat in the Hat! ;-)
I'm not surprised that Pepper insisted you order Choosing to Be, I'm just surprised she doesn't already possess a signed copy! I found that book the way I find most great things (including your blog)... randomly! I'm tickled that you ordered it!
And I LOL'd at your reply to Barbara about Pepper's mortification and need to meditate by Buddha to calm herself. You are too funny! But poor Pepper, I can only imagine how appalling it would be to be told you look like your nemesis! :-)
I get many more views on my posts than comments, so please if you drop by, stop and say hello. Otherwise I'll start getting paranoid and neurotic, and worry that nobody likes me... sniff sniff...
The books on the top shelf of course! Because they make a nice bang when they land :-)
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you ! My cats love to sit on books they are very intellectual !

Literary cats - wonderful:-)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, that's a must -- both books and cats. Love the home library!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's an absolutely fantastic photo and your caption is purrfect! I'll bet Posky chose, Choosing to Be: Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master" by the appropriately named Kat Tansey. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. It looks like Charlie is on the trail for a good read too, or is he getting ready to jump into the plant pot?
