21 books read this month
My favorite quote from a book this month: “One of the many things I love about bound books is their sheer physicality. Electronic books live out of sight and out of mind. But printed books have body, presence. Sure, sometimes they'll elude you by hiding in improbable places... But at other times they'll confront you, and you'll literally stumble over some tomes you hadn't thought about in weeks or years. I often seek electronic books, but they never come after me. They may make me feel, but I can't feel them. They are all soul with no flesh, no texture, and no weight. They can get in your head but can't whack you upside it.”
― Will Schwalbe, The End of Your Life Book Club

OMG, you are right, I first thought maybe I read it in January, but it is not on that list either, I forgot that one, it was not on my library list, so I totally forgot it, i will just tack it onto my March list :-)
Love the ending quote. It is so true.
