Books You Can Live Without? I Don't Think So!

The New York Times article suggests one can weed out ones' library. I don't think so. I have a difficult time loaning books. I cannot imagine bequeathing them to any other place for life.

By the way, I am promised that the physical re-construction (shelving and so forth) of my library will be completed by January 31st. Perhaps then, I will be able to unpack the more than 30 boxes of books that are stacked in our storage room, pending completion of said library.

The Art of Reading II

Back in grad school, I had started a project titled "Art of Reading," and it featured photographs of individuals engaged in reading as well as photographs of libraries, books, etc ... I think I am going to resurrect it because it keeps coming back to me, whispering, even taunting ...

I think I'll make it more like a commonplace book with drawings, photos, etc ... perhaps it will have a hyperart component.

Meanwhile, check out this cool project.
