Books are nice. I like books, libraries, bookshelves, bookstores, books in pictures, books in hands, books in public spaces. Consider me ailed with tsundoku. There's definitely a book for everyone and I've found great joy in the lending and receiving of books; sometimes, I might read just to convey — and books are changing: this is also a reaction to that. (I am not oblivious to this page consisting mostly of non-fiction, technical, or self-help literature — maybe this will improve with time).

Of all man’s instruments, the most wondrous, no doubt, is the book. The other instruments are extensions of his body. The microscope, the telescope, are extensions of his sight; the telephone is the extension of his voice; then we have the plow and the sword, extensions of the arm. But the book is something else altogether: the book is an extension of memory and imagination.
