I am no bird, and no net ensnares me;
I am a free human being with an independent will.

In the wake of the NYPD’s destruction of the 5,000+ volumes comprising the OWS Library last night, it’s important to remember: Even burning books can’t stop ideas from catching fire.

When we read, we are not looking for new ideas, but to see our own thoughts given the seal of confirmation on the printed page. The words that strike us are those that awake an echo in a zone we have already made our own—the place where we live—and the vibration enables us to find fresh starting points within ourselves. Cesare Pavese, This Business of Living

But I do go in for books. I love to own books. Though I read few books twice, I have filled every shelf in my house with books, have had more shelves made and filled those too. My books surround me like a cocoon. When I run my finger along the backs of my books they feel like the ribcage of an old familiar lover. Visit my shelves and you will learn much about me.
