Why isn't there a library?
- aplusbi 7y agoThere are several libraries in the Bronx (33 by my count). But just as a bookstore isn't a replacement for a library, a library isn't a replacement for a bookstore. Sometimes you want to own a book, be able to write it in, tear pages out, and make it your own.
- prewett 7y agoHey, none of that! Books are sacred! You can't desecrate a book by writing in it, and Logos forbid that you rip a page out and destroy the sanctity of the text!
- B1FF_PSUVM 7y agoOr, if you're Pepe Carvalho, rip off and toss the page you just read into the fireplace. (Some writers know how to pull strings.)
- trentmb 7y agoMy mistake- I finished that article with the impression that there was a more general "book desert" than just an absence of small book stores.
