You say that as if it were a bad thing.

That's strange, I didn't think the statement implied that accumulating books was good or bad. Are you sure it's not just your interpretation?
It was a failed attempt at levity.

Perhaps not. I've been cutting back on caffeine so I might be a little slow and a tad grumpy this morning.

The ongoing ebooks debate....
Though it will most likely be moved here, there is a fun debate going on in 'Introductions' on ebooks VS paper-bound. I am pleasantly surprised at the level of dedication and passion on this board regarding literature and books as a whole. *much clapping*
Please weigh in, by all means.

Not saying ebooks don't have their place, but ever try to cuddle with a child while reading an ebook aloud? Ew. I'll stick with paper, thanks.

And the bargains for paperbound books are legion...Ever see used ebooks boxed up at garage sales with signs reading "Take the whole box for $2.00? Who says we have to pay retail for every book we buy?:innocent:
I can look at certain books on my shelves and remember the moment I discovered them and how cheaply I aquired them...

Some real hard cases here. How many still use paper maps over GPS?
Me. All the time. I have a Traffic pro but prefer a paper map.
