Tangible books preserve the past and the mind. Our home has 17 bookshelves on different floors, our oldest dictionary is from 1859 (and has superb definitions), and we built a little library on our front lawn where people can freely bring and take books. One of my favourite past times is cruising used book stores. My newest finds from yesterday: Charles Lamb’s Prose and Poetry and Living in Truth by Vaclav Havel.
