I first posted this my other blog and it is the inspiration for the title and purpose of this blog:
I remember the first time I saw Beauty and the Beast (the animated film). The library in the Beast's mansion was heaven. I could never imagine having that many books to read. I was eight years old and I was already a lover of books. Even then, that library meant everything to me.
In addition, I identified best with Belle than any other Disney "Princess" because we both had long brown hair, liked to sing, and LOVED books. And, like her, I always found myself very misunderstood by the general public. My dream library in the mansion I will never have includes a library almost identical to the one in Beauty and the Beast -- all hardback or leatherbound books. Books on top of books from floor to ceiling with those ceiling-high climbing ladders attached to the bookshelves for easy access. I thought I may never see anything like that library but it seems that even Disney gets its inspiration from somewhere.
The above is HAUGHT. Some of the prettiest libraries in the world. I thought I had enough reasons to want to travel the world -- turns out I only perpetually add to the stack. I must go to these libraries.
Ahh, and I said wouldn't post anyting personal! Well, the explanation was personal. Next post I shall get down to business. *smile*
