I don't see myself ever abandoning physical books for two reasons. One, I love bookstores. They're a jewel of any community, and a center of artistic & intellectual life. Two, I fetishize books. Not in that way, you sicko. I just like being surrounded by paperbacks. One of my earliest fantasies was to live in a house with built-in bookcases and one of those sliding ladders.
But if e-readers turn out to be anything like this, I could see myself going ambibiblious. Bi-dictual. Transtextual . . . somebody help me out here. There has to be a better word for swinging both ways with paper and screen.

In other news, The Mystery Company Bookstore is moving out of their current location in about a week. Where to? They're not telling. Not yet. I guess it's a mystery. . .
