what i want for my birthday

an original copy of the diary of a century... hardcover, bound in gold foil, edited by richard avedon, published in 1970. took me a long while to track it down in the l.a. county library system, but i want it for myself!

i guess i'm a long way from owning a home, but i dream of having deep mahogany wall-to-wall bookcases in my living room some day, along with marigold walls in my kitchen and an antique chandelier in the dining room. still can't stop buying clothes but these days i'm a bit more interested in collecting books. it will be beautiful.
