Empty PagesJonathan Safran Foer collects blank pages from other writers' stacks. Who the hell still uses paper? All right, the next sheet on which a famous writer would have written is kind of cool. (LOL* DangerBlog!) Home

Mental Note: Raise Child to Love Books, Hate LawyersMan strikes it rich by selling book collection. Scratch that. Lawyers strike it rich selling man's beloved collection while he rots below. (Whyfor you bury me in the cold, cold ground?) Home

A Time to Purge?"A pared-down shelf can clear the mind as well as a room, giving a person a better sense of what's there and why." What do your books say about you? (Mine say, we are so so tired of the anarchy.) Home

"There's obviously money in literature"So says you, pal. The Financial Times on how to treat your books like the fiduciary investments they are. (Might I recommend a vintage Carousel? Not to be found in any stores! Even though hundreds of copies likely remain, moldering in a basement in Rosedale!) Home

Which came first? The professor or the booklover?In which our hero speculates on the love of his many many books... There are at least 700 books in my English department office. There are another 200 stashed in filing cabinets in the hallway. In my home office I estimate there are more than 2,000 on the shelves and another 300 in a pile on the floor. There are about 400 books on cooking and gardening in the kitchen. And, finally, there are about 50 books on a shelf next to my bed. Those are the ones I intend to read soon. That shelf tends to fill up during the academic year and empty out during the summer. Home

Somehow I don't think this is threatening Gatenby's title for pack rack of the year...20,000 of her own books, but look at those spines. Not promising. Home
