Literary Living.

Alright. Years ago, my sister and I had a strange obsession with watching shows much beyond what would usually interest children of our age. My sister watched Julia Child's "The French Chef" as early as 5 years old and the two of us got into the Travel Channel a few years later. Our favorite show was "Samantha Brown's Great Hotels" and we watched excitedly, dreaming of all of the fun places we planned to visit. One of them was a beautiful hotel that I still remember vividly to this day called the "Library Hotel". This lovely hotel in Midtown Manhattan boasts of 10 floors, each designed to represent a book genre and every room given a number as if it were in the Dewey Decimal System. For example, room 800.005 was "Fairy Tales" on the Literature floor, room 400.001 on the Language floor was dedicated to "Slavic", etc. Not only this, but every room carried out the theme of its name. Obviously this made me very excited as a little girl because every room felt like a storybook brought to life. So, I have vowed to one day stay at this small literary hotel across from the Library of Congress and completely immerse myself in the wonders of the written word. This, my friend, would play a large part in my happily ever after.
