Roaming the bookshelves

One of the fun things I like to do in my parents' home when I am there on holiday is check on the bookshelves what I used to read and what I have not read yet among the books there. Sometimes I just take one or two of them and flick through the pages, or sit down and give it a good read. Our time here is ending soon, I will miss it. I found a few books that I had forgotten we had since my teenage, books I had promised myself to read when I had the time. I am tempted to bring them home, but 1)my wife forbid me to burden our own bookshelves with more and 2)I feel like they belong to my parents' place and can only be read here.
