A bookshelf can mean lots of things, but, for some of us, the books we’ve read or expect to read are like old friends, resources, ready-to-hand reminders of some of the substance of our thought and action. It’s not nostalgia to have a bookshelf in use, nor is it required. You do you.

I’m finding this hard to follow, but, then again, I didn’t see The Dry Cleaner 1.

The usual choice: would you rather be punched in the face or have your leg sawed off. A simple choice to make, but yuck. Let’s do better.
