Churchill's Response to Our Books Post

 By Churchill

We noted in out last post that Erica loves physical books and Karen does not. That prompted a rebuke to Karen, and implicit praise for Erica, from a devoted reader who sent along a quote from Winston Churchill.

"If you cannot read all your books--fondle them--peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances."

Whose side are you on?
