Thanks for the great description. There's something about having a book in your hands
(or on your lap) that can't be replicated. I love my book collection, even though I
haven't ever read some of them all the way through. I wish I was one of those people
who wrote in books, talked back in the margins and stuff. Then someone could get to
know me just by reading through my library. Alas, I am not. Perhaps I can become one
though.
