Greg S*’s letter to the Editor: My name in lights
BOOKS IN the attic — that’s the problem (“A love story,” Living/Arts, Nov. 15).
As a librarian and a book lover, I appreciate the value of books, but the electronic Sony Reader helps unclutter an already cluttered life. It’s lighter and more portable than an average tome, let alone those “fat books” the Publishers Weekly editor is fond of.
There is also the bonus of thousands of free books, available through Project Gutenberg, once unreadable on a computer . Instead of needing multiple rooms and hundreds of shelves (and many thousands of dollars), anyone can have a classical library with a desktop computer and a Reader. For the human reader and for people who believe reading makes for a better and fuller life, that is a love story.
