What you describe is another argument against ever going exclusively to an e-library. E-books, wonderful as they sometimes are, never give me the feeling of ownership/kinship with a specific copy of a tree-book. Books I've owned for decades are a little bit like time machines; I pick one of them up and I can often flashback to a whole different time in my life. It's based on feel and smell as much as it is on the content of the books...maybe even more.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-77240889834689235982015-02-03T07:20:03.759-08:002015-02-03T07:20:03.759-08:00:) I tried The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. ...:) I tried The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.
