My favourite room is a meta-room. I call it my Library. I read something last week about Umberto Eco, the author of The Name of the Rose, on the reason he has a library of books he has not read: each of those volumes only points out the things you don't know. Reminds me of a joke I heard this week. What did Sean Connery say when he was felled by a stack of books? "I only have my shelf to blame." It sounds better with a Scottish brogue.
