People Should Build Libraries

I'm a firm believer that any individual that wishes to express themselves to friends, family and the possible acquaintance should build a library in their home. Not in the status symbol since where you buy a BMW or boat to prove how much clout or taste you have. That sort of things needs not encouragement only too much money and not enough sense. Build a library in the sense that you wish to convey what worldly things interest you.

I came to this conclusion this January evening while ordering a copy of Michael Jackson's 'The Irish Pub A Social Phenomenon' off of Amazon. It was a collector's edition being a first edition for the United States and I wondered why I would pay $10 more for a book simply because it was decades older. I then glanced over at my wife's collection of books mixed in with a small sample of my books that she'd mixed in and came to realize just how much a few books spoke about a person's personality, hopes, dreams and wishes. They offer an olive branch into your soul and even if you're not around build a picture of who this person was and what they cared to familiarize themselves with.

Firstly, a collection can quickly introduce people to what your interests are professionally simply by observing their titles. For instance my wife's books contain title Natural remedies, Asian health secrets, Aromatherapy, Acupressure and Massage. What does she do for a living? My books contain Learning C#, Million Dollar Consulting, Guide to Investing, JAVA, PERL. What do I do for a living? While it's not definitive it certainly gives you direction in a person's choices.

A collection can similarly give paths to a person's casual or relaxing interests. My wife holds several books on dreams, gardening, myths and the mind. All things I've come to know as serious pursuits of hers for casual enlightenment. My collection holds many on astronomy, poker, car restoration and beer brewing which are of my primary hobby interests. In fact engaging me on the typical hobby interests by strangers is usually initiated by individuals based on their glancing at my book shelf.
