I've only lived in one house with built-in bookcases.

What sort of surprises me is the people I know who have a room in their house
that they call "the library." One has a bookshelf going from the living room
to this "library": I have more shelf space for books in this room and I call
it my, well, room . Another couple has a room off the dining room with one
wall with built-in shelves. When I was cat-sitting for them they told me I was
welcome to borrow any of their books to read. I found nothing of interest.
Most of the books were old garage sale buys, I think, like best-sellers from
1975. I think I had already read all those back in 1975.
