March 26, 2012 My house is being overrun by books. Books are stacked neatly on shelves. Books are placed sloppily over the neatly stacked books on shelves. Books are on end tables and night-stands. Books are piled on the floor of the alcove in front of my children's bookshelf. I am seriously thinking of asking my contractor to build more shelves. Naturally, then, I laughed when I read this piece in Newsday, about a former book-lover who is now a book-hater. Of course, I could never be a book-hater. As I've written on this blog before, I love books. I love the look and feel and smell of them. I just don't love the clutter. So, since neatness counts, ... this round goes to the Nook, making the current count: Nook - 3; Book - 3! Stay tuned! See who takes the next round! Happy reading, Christine |
