The chair is an invite. I like it there to remind me of the Russell Edson poem "A Chair," the first poem I read by him and one of my favorites. It starts...

So, um, those are books, right? I've heard of those things.
Is that MY copy of the "Complete Flannery O'Connor" on your shelf? I've been missing it for years. Actually, I think it's EVERYBODY'S copy.
Sarah, you should send this to this terrific blog of pictures of books on bookshelves, "Expose Yourshelf," http://exposeyourshelf.blogspot.com/.
