I want a library one day that climbs from the floor, all the way up to the ceiling. I want there to be so many books that trying to get to them all will be impossible. I want shelves that are lined with books that I'm excited to read, authors I've always meant to get around to reading and books that people suggest to me that I would never have thought to read. I want to be able to walk up to those shelves and pick at random what I'll read next and smile when I look at the cover.
I want that too--I already have walls lined with books (I've absolutely passed the point where reading gets obsessive) but I want books up to tall ceilings with a rolling ladder. And big puffy armchairs. And maybe a decanter of good Scotch.
