mad is a household that loves books. A love of reading and literature is one of the cornerstones of mad, and together we’ve rediscovered the libraries in both New York City and San Francisco. I knew I was falling for Mike on a Sunday back in ’06 when we were able to discuss the Canterbury tales (that and the fact that we ended the day with a ridiculously wonderful Isaac Hayes movie).While our living room isn’t completely done, we are at the point where we’re able to introduce our belongings into the room. So today, after work, I actually unpacked some of our books and put them away. More than our rug (which is going to be cleaned on Monday), pictures, or tschotkes, our books help us feel at home. They immediately make us feel grounded and comfortable. Plus, they give us something other than painting and blog updates to do. . .
