I consider the library in my old town to be wonderful. Not exactly elegant or anything, but the entire wall on one side is a window, and it really is great, with a meadow in the view outside. It was next to a YMCA. The sunlight made me very sleepy.

This has always been a favorite library of mine, hard to beat your own personal library when its this nice, John Adams very own library adjacent to his house in Quincy, Massachusetts.

One of the things that "progress" has stolen from us is the local public library. I was taken to the Croton Free Library when I was eight or nine (on Clevelend Drive) by my mom, who introduced me to the local librarian, Mrs. Burnham. She signed me up for my first library card. I spent countless hours in that place, reading, working the card catalog (what's that? What's the Dewey Decimal system?), and hanging out with my friends, and later, my girlfriend.

Computer technology is wonderfull, but it also sucks. I don't want a Kindle, OK?

I am sick of the freefall of the English language that has been brought on by techie fools who have never read an actual book.

What you know is of great value. It is not the only form of value known to this culture. Read a book, OK? The experience might surprise you.

Honestly, I'm not trying to insult anyone, or to denigrate the amazing advances in tech that computer science has brought us. But I quake in my boots at the prospect of a society of people who have never read a novel from cover to cover.
