Something I've noticed lately while surfing reddit and Pinterest is the skyrocketing popularity of "library porn," or pictures of libraries so ridiculously gorgeous that they get us bibliophiles hot and bothered.  Seriously, there should be a warning label on this stuff.

Joining the ranks of smut like "food porn" and "cabin porn," library porn is exactly what those who love libraries and long for one of their own (myself included) need to visually satisfy their craving for beautiful book storage and perfect reading spaces.  Some of it can be downright inspiring!

Now that I've piqued your curiosity, I present to you a few of the images gathered from reddit and Pinterest that have me drooling at the moment.  Enjoy!

Lovely home library, unknown location

Also, if you have a little pocket change and want to place some of these filthy, sexy pictures on your coffee table for all to admire and for you to look at any time you like, you can pick up a copy of the ultimate library porn, Candida Höfer's Libraries, either by clicking here or by visiting the official store via the Shop tab at the top of the blog.  Happy reading!
