For the love of reading

I LOVE to read and honestly, this chair ought to be THE dream chair for a fiery bookworm.
BibliochaseAccording to the manufacturer nobody & Co., this chair alone stores ‘5 metres of books’! WHOA! That’s plenty of space spared by using just one of this chair alone. So instead of erecting a whole wall of cabinets to store your books, might as place two or three of these chairs in your room and there you have your 10-15metres of storage place for your books!

But the Chinese in me, who sometimes tends to be a little superstitious, believes that it’s a definitely ‘no-no’ to sit on books. I’m not really sure why but I used to get admonished by my grandma and great-aunts when I sat on books as a child. I think they say you’ll be illiterate in your next life or something like that.

However, superstitions aside, I still think that it’s a really cool chair. Although I still wouldn’t wanna sit on it :P because I think I might get too distracted surrounded by so MANY books, in such proximity. The musty odour of old paperbacks mingled amongst new books evoke a familiar olfactory sensation in me, which my brain would automatically translate them into ‘READ ME! READ ME!’.
