I go there every time I get to Boston, just to smell the rare-book room and have a coffee in the courtyard.

I just like writing in my books and possessing them. Then again, I'll be the first person to lend someone a book and not care if I see it returned. (though of course hoping it is returned...safely.)<BR/><BR/>Stefanie - I remember reading about Marginalia a few years ago and knew I was interested in it, but los track of it. I still wouldn't have got it if it wasn't on the shelf above Manguel's book. But that's part of the allure of libraries...finding books you weren't looking for.Mike B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12970156936438168999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18358820.post-1146532890994645192006-05-01T21:21:00.000-04:002006-05-01T21:21:00.000-04:00I'm a buyer too but I can't afford them all so the...I'm a buyer too but I can't afford them all so the library is wonderful place.<BR/><BR/>I read <I>Marginalia</I> a few years back and loved it. Jackson has several other bookish books that I have tried to find without success (internet book buying is a last resort).<BR/><BR/>I've also read the Hrabal. Fantastic book. And I love the title.

But ... what if I want to reread something? I do sometimes end up wanting to take another look at some of the books I've gotten from the library, so I think I'm generally right to buy, although I like the idea of free access to books.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
