@matt Such a bargain. It felt greedy grabbing the two CDs as well on top of all the books.

Library sale loot. We need a word for the particular kind of joy you feel when you pay next-to-nothing for books you could have read for free before.

10 books for 80 kr. (€10.71). In a country where your average book costs about 250 kr. or €35.

2 CDs for 5 kr. (67 cents)

I love the fact that the librarians provide shopping baskets.

@baoigheallain Me too. And it seems carefully chosen. An integral part of reading in the book chair.

@Camlarsch Wauw - det må have været en helt særlig oplevelse

@Nickiquote Now that you say it, this is the royal library. Well, officially in English 'the State and University Library' in Aarhus, but the Danish name Det Kongelige Bibliotek translates literally as The Royal Library. So Throne of Words it is!

@stigcq So negative

@TimmyMac The librarians have wisely placed it in the foyer, in full view from all angles. There'll be no sneaking it out.

@psneeze It's the business, isn't it.

I like the fact that the librarians don't just stock the chair with pretty and pristine books. This chair signals *readers* are welcome here. Readers who read and reread and dog-ear and coffee-ring and spine-break books.

Reading chair at the library

@carstenraddatz Tak and danke

@pgogl

@MarianneTiel @pgogl It's a great word

@Camlarsch Tak i lige måde

@androcat Ha - så siger vi intet om det

@androcat Spyd, spear - I can both hear it and see it. Bovspryd - a bow sprit - it's a great term.

@otte_homan @pgogl That sounds like a fun game to play on a hot Summer day!

@Summsi2 Ah lovely - gute Reise! I hope you have a safe trip getting here and that Aarhus treats you well when you arrive.

@Hinnerk @pgogl 'Bow' - that word had escaped me. I kept thinking 'prow', but it didn't feel quite right. Danke! Bug sprit, bow sprit - lovely terms. Dannebrog's bow sprit is quite a sight to wake up to, especially in lovely Thisted
