I know I am different to most people in this world because I value different things. There is an experience that is so good if you value it.
There was a library that had plastic moulded seats and steal legs that double as reinforcement for the chair, they were thin metal bars bent into an "N" shape. The library had a strong smell of old books. When I was at University I would study computer programming. I would print out example computer codes on my printer and look at the code and be focused. I would do this sitting in the library. I would sit in the smelly library and drink a smelly coffee from Burger king. The coffee had no milk or sugar, it was smelly and strong and I loved drinking it while I was lost in detail. Looking carefully line by line to understand everything.
To me that was pleasure. I loved being lost in work and detail. Not in stress but in focus. The library is gone now, it moved down town. It was called gayton library. I often wonder if librarys will still be around in the future or if they will just be part of something else or phased out.
I loved reading books for free and librarys were filled with them.
