The biggest question for every bibliophile when they move in with a loved one is: do we merge collections? Mrs Dalloway believed that love and religion would destroy the
privacy of the soul; she’d agree with me that merging collections
threatens the same. But perhaps those taking shelfies are right and
books are soul music, made for sharing on gloriously open shelves.
