E-books still feel really impermanent to me. It just makes me feel so twitchy.

Digital is impermanent. It's an archival black hole. I am feeling especially unfriendly toward it right now.

Of course this is also why I now have 9,645 books shelved and stacked and piled and propped all over my apartment. A Mayse-Bikhl comes to pass, it'll be 9646.
