I'm assembling a new library. It's full of books, many that I've read several times, many that are new, and many I could neither find nor afford. And, yes, my wife won't complain that I'm adding even more to the already full shelves of books that I do have a home and in my office at school; it's all part of my new Kindle. What fun I've had browsing up and down the virtual library shelves simply looking at books. It's all very seductive. But will I want to give up the physical turning of the page?
More to come later.
Here's the deal with books. I buy them the old fashioned way in hard cover. That means, I have to have them delivered to the office and then sneak them home three month's later. Then, when my wife asks, "Is that new?," I can say, "No. I've had it for some time."
