You just described my dream home.
Heh heh, mine too!
I have sold or given away probably 5000 books from my collection in the last 20 years. I still have far too many. t doesn't help that I work in a place where we get free review copies of incredible works.
My wife is looking forward to my finishing the shed-cum-office out back, with its planned 120 feet of built in shelves.
Well, Chris and Robert... it sounds like the two of you have it far worse than Keith and I. I thought we had it bad, but now I'm not so worried. I've been telling him we need far more bookshelves around here, but the boxes and stacks we have sound like nothing compared to you two. 
Thanks for easing my mind. I can relax now. And renew the memberships to Barnes and Borders...
Robert: What a wonderful attachment to have! Really, your place sounds wonderful. In my own dream, I have a house with a tower, a spiral staircase with recesses (in the middle of the tower a little alcove with a comfy chair), then a wonderful room at the top with comfy couches, a day bed, bookcases and books galore (in audio too), and beautiful casements. I can see myself holed up reading, napping, listening to stories or music, and savoring sunsets. Perhaps a small balcony with gargoyles as companions, so that I can bask in late afternoon sunlight while reading poetry.... Of course, the Vermont Fall colors! The other joy would be in sharing this with my kids! All the best to you,
Nacho
