Loved the video. I share the same belief of learning through osmosis with all of my books I have not read.

I laughed about the cookbooks in your book case tour..."not much going on there"...LOL! Same here! I envy your built-in book shelves...! :-) I did get a small list of books to check out from your video including SuperCorp, Living A Beautiful Life, and The Alchemist. Thanks for sharing!

Such a fun video! Thanks for sharing. I've read several books from your recommended resources before -- so inspiring! Prompted me to get out my paints, colored pencils and take art classes for the first time in years. Life changing!

I love that you are currently reading about 50 books. I was recently interviewed about my work and asked where I get my design inspiration. I guess I should have said, "The Art Institute, the great architecture of Chicago...I don't know what." What I DID say was, my book shelves...a line of poetry can set the whole mood for a room. Books and fabric stores. So much for high-end interior design theory!

My husband thinks I'm insane with the books piled up on my side of the bed . . . I shared your video with him - thanks for validating the bibliofiles! Do you know about LibraryThing?? It's an online catalog - but it's also like a social networking tool - connecting people to books ;) Enjoy! Alexis

C'est La Vie is a great book. I read it in 2007. Your head will be swimming in daydreams of living in Paris!!
