The Jewel of P-listers' library

[pynchonoid]

Saw a documentary once on CSPAN I think about a
collector down in Mississippi and a wing he built on
his house (as big as the house) for his library,
climate-controlled, & etc.  

A good friend laughs at my book collection, and I
wasn't laughing when we moved it into this house,
that's for sure, says I ought to use the public
library instead, and I do.  I love owning books,
though, and will continue to collect them.
