Generally it is filled with the sweet smell of old pages, old tales, old authors. Now it is filled with disarray. Ick. I get the shivers when I see this. You see, I am organizing this room. I know, I know it does not look like any sort of organizing is going on here. In fact, I wonder if I am testing nuclear bombs in this room.You know the saying "the best laid plans of mice and men" well that is me. I head in here, head held high, direction at the ready. I know what to do, how to do it. The plan for this room.
Then the books work against me. Wait, is that a group of Poe books? Oooooh, I love Poe, I'll just look for a second. No, NO put that down. Yes, that is right, it does go in the poem section. Oh my, I totally love this book, I didn't remember I had it, wow the best part is right about here. I'll just read it right quick. PUT IT DOWN. Oh, that's right, working on the poem section, no sense in reading the best haunted places to stay in New York. Poems, Poems, lets get that poetry section going. Awesome! A first edition of Betty MacDonald, I'd better get a plastic book sleeve on that so it won't get smudges on it. I just find this one section hilarious, I'll just take a quick glance.
NO. step away from the book and get back to alphabetizing the poetry section. Hmmmm! a dog book, I'd better see if it has any ideas about why Bernese Mountain Dogs are so insane. This book has such pretty pictures. PUT IT DOWN.
I love dogs. I had better make a dog section. I have another little brown bookcase. I have dog books. Wait, I have poodles wearing glasses. What a fantastic idea, I'll make a arrangement. Vintage poodles STANDING on dog books. Man, I am a genius.
I'll take apart the library, find all the dog books. Put it all together.
Man, sometimes I am my own worse enemy. Well, baby steps for the organization of the library, baby steps people.I think I need more dog books. Hmmmmm, I think the used book store is opened tomorrow.
Organization is highly overrated.
