These days, I live in a few different spaces throughout the year. And I've noticed that I am happiest in the place which contains my physical library. Why? I think part of the reason is that every time I walk past my library, I am reminded of (1) how grateful I am that a Homer, a Plato, an Aristotle, a Shakespeare, and many others passed their thinking and teaching down to us in writing and (2) how much more time I would like to spend in the future working on how the fundamental human problems they raised can help us in our present modes of living (ie, both by seeing which problems have persisted, and which problems are new). Invest in a library you love!

A third for me would be that each book also unlocks some memories of the mind space I was in when first reading it, the emotions involved and the locations I was at. Not that I have much of a library yet but it's work in progress. 🙃 Love the busts, that's a great addition to a bookshelf.
