"Let books be your dining table, / And you shall be full of delights. / Let them be your
mattress,/
And you shall sleep restful nights" (St. Ephraim the Syrian).

Of Electronic "Readers" and Punishment Shelves

And now, bibliophiles, something different. Two things in fact:

First, a droll essay about fights between couples over how to organize their bookshelves. I rather like the fellow who has the "punishment shelf" in his garage.

And second, an essay from the prolific and always insightful Anthony Daniels (a.k.a. Theodore Dalrymple, a retired prison psychiatrist from Britain) on bookshelves, electronic "books" and much else.
