The Joys of a Book Table
About a year ago I was visiting at a friend’s house and noticed they had a book table.
It’s literally what it says – a table of any size you happen to have, on which you throw a random assortment of ancient dog-eared friends, shiny new acquisitions, and in our case, books unpacked from deep storage that we haven’t seen for decades – in itself quite a pleasure.
This is not for the TikTok folk, there’s little to no prestige in it. It’s mostly just for you.
And what a thrill it is… There they are, in all their dusky allure, inviting you to pick up, flip through, and move on when you feel like it.
It’s analog-style browsing, and it feels so frickin’ good for your mind!
Do you have a book table? And what’s on it today, pray?
