Brick (2005) is a film with a modern twist on detective noir. Set in high school, it stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Brendan Frye who takes it upon himself to solve the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Emily. In the middle of the movie, Brendan goes to a party at a house that has THIS library. Oh how I would love to have an office that extended to the floor above via spiral staircase where my books waited for me. But I would turn on more lights.

Amazing library! I have not seen this movie, but I like this actor from 500 Days of Summer. Will have to check it out sometime. Yes, and maybe a few more chandeliers would be needed in that library to actually read the books š
I think it’s so dark so there’s “mood lighting” for the party, but I’m itching to turn on a light and steer the characters towards a bookshelf!
It’s a good movie, but it takes a little while to get used to the terminology they use.. lots of slang is tossed around. It’s very hardboiled.
I would love a library like that, too!!!
And I think the bottom floor should be full of daybeds and pillows to read on. Mmm, if I ever win the lottery..
Oh, I’ve heard good things about this movie but have never gotten around to watching it. I spend more time reading books these days and watching a few TV shows with DH.
I used to read more than watch TV, but TV seems to be taking more and more time. I think it’s a combination of Tivo and having something in common to watch with the DH.
Exactly! Without Tivo I would not watch TV, and it’s definitely a better activity to do with someone IMO. š
