Comments on: Used Books in the Rabbit Room http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=373 The Rabbit Room Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:35:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: aurorajade http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=373&cpage=1#comment-10633 aurorajade Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:25:00 +0000 http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=373#comment-10633 I loved this piece. I can't stop smelling the aroma of the pages. Musty, yes, but remembered by me simply as the scent of books.. of adventure. I used to love visiting the library as a child for just that smell. I would spend hours wandering up and down aisles trying to select the perfect book to read. Somehow I always felt lead to "the one". Seldom was I disappointed. Ahh, spending leisurely Sunday afternoons drifting through the pages as I explored the rabbit hole with Alice. Thank you for the nostalgic visit. I loved this piece.

I could just be impatient though! I'm getting ready to move, and this will be a perfect time for me to sort through all of the multiple copies of my favorite books that I buy "just in case" and send some to the Rabbit Room. But, of course, maybe you all are still working out the details. Thanks! Hey Andrew, I emailed rabbitroomstore@gmail.com but never heard back. I could just be impatient though!

If it could be nestled on the peak of a mountain so the wilderness of the mind could retreat to the outdoors every now and again, I definitely think it would be pretty close to heaven.

I love the idea. It is winter here in MI and I can totally see reading good books by a fire with Andrew Peterson and friends from the RR! Thanks for the dream! Dude, I am digging this! I want in!

There is just something cool about the way they look on your shelf. I will definitely be checking out the used books here on the site from time to time. I appreciate your insights and for sharing your ideas. The Rabbit Room is fast becoming a favorite site. Andie Andrew, I so agree with you about loving books, especially OLD books.

I'm sure some great discussions would result as we crack open those musty, worn, (or new) books together. It would be interesting to take the journey with friends. And what book would we start with? Rabbit Room sure is cozy. Thanks to all! How’s a Rabbit Room Book Club feel to any of you out there?

Would the location be secret and known to only a few for fear of people who strive to ruin good things, or would it be an open place where people of all beliefs and creeds could meet and talk? Seems that most people here are hopeless romantics for fairy tales and fantastic stories. I consider it a good thing. If it did physically exist, where would we put it?

Love the smell of books. If the door must be dark green, put a brass knob right in the middle. If that cottage were real I’d spend an inordinate portion of my waking hours haunting its insides.

The Rabbit Room is a great place to be if I can't be home putting the kids to bed. The smell of used books was one of the things that helped to bring my group of c losest friends together in college. There were planty of early Saturday mornings that we would sit up in a big live oak and read together and learn from each other. My wife and I spent a fair part of our first year of marriage reading our favorite books to each other. Thanks for helping to recreate some of those feelings. And thanks for helping me to learn. I'm a rabid reader but not a particularly great thinker. The RR, AP, Gullahorn, and all the posters and commenters. Thanks. I’m stuck in the valley in a snowstorm tonight and can’t leave the office.
