I don’t have any books anymore. I took them all, several hundred, to Goodwill a few years ago. I hadn’t bought any in years because I’ve buying ebooks exclusively for a long time now. I have about 700 in my reader and almost any Internet connected device I have access to. My reading list is too long to reread anything, I thought others might get some use out of them.

Not having books in the house doesn’t mean what it once did.

I have lots of pizza pamphlets dotting my bookshelf. I read a ton of books on my phone, but because I travel a lot I’ve never seen the point in paperbacks…

…except of course, when I go to friends house and see their book collection and we strike up a topic about it. People look at my pizza pamphlet collection and assume I’m an illiterate hick.
