Description

As readers we surround ourselves with books, but some of us fetishsize books while others don't. We talk about book collecting, marginalia, breaking the bindings [yes, it happens], bookshelf porn, e-books, and the books of novelist David Markson at the Strand. We also reference the late Christopher Hitchens and this lovely video tour of his D.C. house with impressive bookshelves and his philosophy of collecting (everything George Orwell ever wrote!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oojddCxCg_4
