I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
What I try to do - and I think this is the former librarian in me - is to get primary source material.
Half of my library are old books because I like seeing how people thought about their world at their time. So that I don't get bigheaded about something we just discovered and I can be humble about where we might go next. Because you can see who got stuff right and most of the people who got stuff wrong.
The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true, if it ever was.
I keep an ongoing list of my fifty favorite books, which I recalibrate whenever I discover a new one that seems to demand a spot there.
Libraries are where it all begins.
Our libraries are valuable centers of education, learning and enrichment for people of all ages. In recent years, libraries have taken on an increasingly important role. today's libraries are about much more than books.
I spend about eight months researching and outlining my book.
One of the most constant and sustaining truths of my life has been this: I love the library.
I have this book club, and we don't read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.
