No. Not even scantily clad ones. I used to have one of Kafka on the wall but the dog kept barking at it.

No, but I'm currently trying to decorate my bachelor pad since I've been here over a year and that's a great idea. Thanks. Movie posters in the tv room and authors in the reading area. Nice

No, I don't have any. I prefer landscape paintings. 8)

I have a lot of family pictures on my walls now, but my parents are giving me a couple beautiful Thomas Kinkade paintings soon. They bought them for my grandparents who just passed. They will be extra meaningful and they are beautiful

Cool! I have got a picture which belonged to my late grandparents and it's meaningful to me as a result, so I can relate. My condolences about your grandparents.

Sorry about your grandparents. I love Thomas Kinkade--there's so much warmth in his pictures. So cozy.

Anyways, I don't have any authors on the wall. We do, however, have a sepia portrait of a man my parents used to know. He died the year I was born, and he just looks so dignified, and it's so retro that I love it. It's downstairs in the hub area. His name is Mr. O'Sullivan.

Scantily clad authors... hm... I like that idea! Assuming that the photos were tastefully done.

You're welcome!

When you click to quote, you can delete part of the person's quote.

Another thing to do is highlight a portion of your own post...
And click the quote buttont next to the underline link, above.
There, I just quoted myself. Does that help? There's so much fun stuff you can do on this forum!
