^^^  I wish!!  More like Velma's house, I think tho.  If I had that much room, I'd have more cats.

It resembles what used to be my favorite used bookstore, Acres of Books.  If you were lucky, you might run into Ray Bradbury there, because it was also his favorite bookstore.  Acres went out of business long ago (couldn't compete with online and big box bookstores) so my dream of being buried under books during an earthquake will have to wait until I build up my collection some more.

It's like one of my favourite bookshops too.  It is really difficult for small bookshops since the rise of Amazon but you can't beat them for shopping experience.

Too true, esp. since the clerks in independent stores are usually so much more knowledgeable about books.  I've found a couple of clerks in big box stores who knew their stuff, but anyone behind the counter at Acres would be able to help me even if I just had a vague description of a book I'd heard about and was interested in.  Enormously useful in the pre-Google days.

I'm a huge fan of the Velvet Underground. I simply can't state how much this music and especially the music of Lou Reed meant to me in my early, wild days...and as a kid I was loved the Charles Schulz's work with the Peanuts Gang. (Especially his early work of the 50's, when the drawings had a more infant appearance)

Anyway I give you the Peanuts Underground, with our favorite Peanut's character portrayed as the Velvet Underground. It's definitely most fitting and totally cool that Snoopy should portray Lou, and I like how both Nico and Andy Warhol are included.
