So … the books that you own (however many there may be) … do you display them proudly right there in plain sight for all the world to see? (At least the world that comes into your living room.)

Or do you keep them tucked away in your office or bedroom or library or closet or someplace less “public?”

Right now all of my books are stuck in boxes due to the limbo state I am stuck in.  So there's a little stack of books (and when I say little I huge) next to my bed.  Unfortunately, they aren't displayed in any way.

In the future, I would love to have my books displayed.  We've decided that almost every room will have bookcases.  The theater will house media related books.  The kitchen with cookbooks and food related books.  The office with fairly boring textbooks (well boring to everyone besides geeky nerds like us).  The boys' room with their books obviously.  And the living room with everything else.  I want to see all my books.  I want to peruse them.  I want the living room to look like cozy library nook.  (And J bought me a reading chair today!!!  I am so excited!  Now I need the bookshelves and my books out of storage)
