This is such a rewarding aspect of being a life-long reader …. “It’s about always reading a wide variety of different books, and allowing myself to be surprised at the way in which they appear to speak to each other.”
I have usually over the years imagined how I might style the interiors of my ideal home library. Never thought about how I might curate the selection of books themselves.
I enlarged the image to see the books and now appreciate the card catalogue system that was invented. This is archival expansion beyond constriction and makes me want to browse the stacks!

Really beautiful read. Thanks, Julian.
