It's a hard-knocks life

Boyfriend and I have a lot of books for a tiny little apartment. "I put a shelf in the bedroom. But we need more. I was thinking of putting one in the kitchen. Plus, that way, when we're eating we can always turn around and reference a book we're discussing," he said.

"We don't eat dinner in the kitchen. We don't discuss books. But we should stage a book-discussion dinner and reference books two times. That way we can be as snobby and unreal as we always wanted. AND, we can always say we did it more than once," I said.

He left the room.
