I used to go to the town library every saturday morning. I would spend hours in the reference library pouring over obscure technical books. The book about designing satellites, or electonics, or nuclear fallout predicitions. It was literally the only place I could find out about some relatively simple things (in hindsight); but at the time they seemed like secrets. The musty old stacks are where the disocovery was, now most of it is just a Google away. I now get that feeling from art galleries or museums. So many things to be discovered that will change how I view the world. Most of it is on the web, but I want to see it for real. Maybe books need to be treated more as historic artifacts.
