judging a book by its cover

we all do it. and why not? especially these beauties. (which I want. now.)

I've always imagined paradise will be a kind of library - jorge luis borges

teaching six (yep, they added another course to my diabolical schedule) english classes keeps me busy with my reading. currently, I am teaching and reading one hundred years of solitude, the crucible, the great gatsby, narrative of the life of frederick douglass, the merchant of venice, and a midsummer night's dream. cripes.
since I somehow relate everything in my real life to my secret, fantasy decor life, I am wondering: how do you decorate with your books?
