Ego! Ego! Ego!: Books Archives

Books and ebooksLast week I crossed the 1,200 book mark in my library. 1,200 total books, 220 of them unread. (Yes, yes, I know, I'm supposed to be reducing the number of books I own but haven't read. Powell's Books and various wonderful friends have been conspiring against me. I do not hold it against either group. I've read more books already this year than I did in total last year, so I think I'm doing all right.)
While Twon and I were up in Portland for Memorial Day weekend (photos coming; work has been trying to kill me lately), we wound up part of a discussion about the wonders of ebooks. I find ebooks very clinical and even vaguely horrifying, but couldn't entirely articulate why in the moment. It's a bit more clear to me now, sitting at the desk in my library, with my ten packed bookshelves around me.
