I love books. I always have. My reward for being good at the grocery store? A book. One thing always on my birthday list? A book. Realizing that I’m note only person effected by finding old books makes me realize that I’m not as crazy as I once thought.
Sim’s article regarding finding copies of the encyclopedia he owned as a child is something I relate to. Any time I visit my parents, I inevitably end up in the attic flipping through books I love when I was little. It has nothing to do wit economics for me. It has everything to do with a love of reading and words and something I hope to pass down one day to any child in my life, my own or not.
