The single most eye-catching piece of furniture in the entire room, open plan or not, must be the book shelves taking up the vast majority of the wall next to the bedroom door. What becomes immediately apparent, however, is that it's more of a storage place for what is now considered somewhat old-fashioned: records. LPs, EPs, and to some extent CDs. Albums, singles, collections.
Edith Piaf mingling snugly with Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong, Erasure with Aretha Franklin, Depeche Mode and Michael Jackson. The list goes on (and it's not that there's dust anywhere near his music collection - maybe it's the way everything's so neatly arranged alphabetically and by genre - but something might just give the impression that he doesn't listen to half of it as much as he used to).
One shelf is dedicated to literature, and like his taste in music, so is his taste in books. Old books, and varied authors, similarly arranged, and most of them lovingly worn around the edges. Shakespeare, Douglas Adams, Ondaatje, Edgar Allan Poe... Though it's far less vast, the literature list goes on with similar flair.
