Substitute a glass of red wine and that's my simple pleasures right there.

Bookman, you just gave me an idea...

My children won't like it though.

Keep the books i will take the bottle

Follow your instinct. Place whiskey bottles as book ends on the shelf. It's your house.

BOOKS DEFINITELY PLUS A HOT CUP OF JAVA:

Rev

I think that bottle is placed on the wrong shelf.

It should be placed (and drank) after Love and the Black Hole.

LOL! Bookman, I agree it is my house; but at the same time I have 2 - 5 yr old grandsons who ask lots of questions. They call the room where I have my books & computers "Grandma's Office."

IGH, if your grandsons ask about the whiskey on your bookshelf, just tell them it's the preferred authors' tea.

If someone gives me a Book as a Gift, I will chase them away!!!

Not to worry, bhai. Whiskey for you.

Gilly, how about-  preferred reader's tea

Why not? Especially a writer's reader.

Sounds good to me!

This looks like it's from FIKA - that Norwegian bistro

Nahhh! Iman think it's photoshop, hehehe

That coffee cup has a high internet presence

I buy cappuccino from FIKA in lower Manhattan and that's how they serve it.

Anyhow that's a far way away from the tropical Christmas in Suriname. Then it's on to GT for the weekend.
