I recently got a question in the comments here about my reading habits, and thought it might be fun to take a meander through my library, pointing out objects of interest as I go. File this one under autobiographical fragments. I liked books as a kid, but simply read in pursuit of my interests. Those …
Patience, Patience . . .
