My Library
This was how I pictured my home library -- uh, as a crack-smoking 8-year-old.

Me too. I always dreamed of having a big ornate library as a kid.
It seems pretty clear that the wrong people were born in Buckingham Palace. You and I could have appreciated it more than the current tenants.

I, too, imagined myself having a grand library someday. Then, technology took over. Now, my library is all bits and bytes, and the interface resembles a small flat-panel television.
It's much more convenient and portable and I can easily carry it to safety if the barbarians invade. But it's not nearly as romantic.
In a way, I miss books, a cold computer screen cannot replace the tactile sensation of paper and leather. I still have a small collection of books in leather, but they're more decorative than practical these days.
And a Kindle is much more practical, and easier to carry on a subway or airplane. With technology, I can have 20 books with me instead of being limited to 1 or 2.

OK for a Bar Mitzvah - but for a wedding, you need something fancier.

I've got over 20,000 books and short stories on my computer

San Francisco used to have a beautiful library, now it's a homeless day room and crackhead rest stop. #sad
