Real Name: Stephen
About My Library: Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard* by the time I read them.
..................... Arnold Lobel, Whisker and Rhymes, 1985

*Not only long, but now grown gray.
About Me: More sciolist than scholar.

"If you want to make God laugh, show Her your TBR pile."

A "Kindle" may well furnish a mind, but only "books do furnish a room."

When my brother told a wealthy friend of his that his brother no longer bought books but borrowed them from the library he replied ... "How quaint."
