The Retirement Dream

It's official. When I grow old enough, I've decided that I will buy myself a bookshop. A bit like the one in Funny Face. With the walls covered in books, and moving ladders that slide from one end of the store to the other. And it'll be filled with all the essential classics. Pride and Prejudice. The Great Gatsby. Metamorphosis. The Picture of Dorian Gray. Harry Potter. And of course a ton of the newer books as well. 

The one thing I've always wanted to do is to live in a bookstore. Or at least spend an evening or two in one. How marvelous would it be to just lie there with books towering over you, covering nearly every surface, with the scent of old and new books to aid your sleep. 


I can't wait.
