The rest, with very little exaggeration, was books.
Meant-to-be-picked-up books. Permanently-left-behind books.
Uncertain-what-to-do-with books. But books, books. Tall cases lined three walls
of the room, filled to and beyond capacity. The overflow had been piled in
stacks on the floor. There was little space left for walking, and none whatever
for pacing.
J.D. Salinger
