medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Now, this reading desk is one worth having, & it should be available to
buy in kits that you could assemble at home.
Part of my original question had to do with managing files of articles &
offprints -- by author? by topic? sort-of? And what about the stuff
that has nothing to do with anything but I might want it in the future,
like the article on the Green Children? The Rose file went into the
Financial box but that box has no more room. When I can I put
offprints & articles into books by the same author, but that isn't often
possible. I think this has to do with how do you think about the paper
stuff?

Christine has in her room a type of round table with various book on it. Under the table are a few shelves to store books. On it, in the middle, is a pole with a double book stand (the type sometimes seen in medieval choir stalls), which can revolve, so you can read two books at once.
