Growing up, I loved books.  I still do.  I thought the coolest thing in the world would be to live in a library, where books you loved were all around you.
To a significant degree, I've realized that dream.  I live in a large house full of books, and they're everywhere--on many, many bookcases, in stacks on tables, all over the place. I love the look of the books, the feel of many of them, and, of course, reading them.  I buy too many, but I don't care; they're joyful objects.
There's just one problem:  I forgot to include a librarian in my dream. The reason the books are everywhere is filing time--well, that, and bookcase room, but I'm always working on that.
Infrastructure will get you every time.
Yes, a pity...
