big problem there Nell — for one thing, lots of libraries no longer have a comprehensive selection of books, or have access to them. in my city, a lot of things I look for are in a reference library and I can’t take anything out off the bldg; and also, using a library doesn’t work when you can’t sleep and need to read a PARTICULAR book RIGHT NOW.

I’ve learned over many years how to thin books out — but after decades, what that means is that what’s left are ALL ones you love. and want them around you.
