Some of us hate eBooks. Tom Send a noteboard - 15/07/2012 01:40:27 PM
It's interesting, though, because I really like the way that e-readers are getting rid of hard copy disposable reading - magazines and books. I don't feel bad throwing them away anymore. With real books, though, nothing can beat a well-bound and beautiful book. It's more than just information. It's a work of art.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
