You don't even keep paperback books shelved. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 10/05/2013 07:59:49 AM

My point was that books will continue as an artform (e.g. the Pléiade), rather than as a medium (Tor). Genre fiction will rapidly become digitized; people who want nice books on their shelves aren't going to be lining their walls with Jordan and Sanderson.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Just donate them to your library and get an ereader. The format is rapidly approaching obsolescence. Ghavrel - 09/05/2013 08:22:56 AM 1158 Views
