@NickEast @bookstodon @bookbubble @books @reading When I had a secondhand bookshop I used to hand out free bookmarks with "It's not hoarding if it's books" on them.

When AI ruins all knowledge and communication, books printed pre-AI will become the only reliable literature, so hang onto them!

@NickEast @bookstodon @bookbubble @books @reading Got to turn this into a poster. And do a version where I replace “book" with "board game”

@NickEast @bookstodon @bookbubble @books @reading I like my unread books. I'm glad I can look forward to reading them someday. Until one day I die. I also enjoy the books I have left over from my mother, who had a library of unread books and looked forward to reading them one day.

In a million years when the earth is just a burnt cinder, it will not matter how many books you hoarded.

The knowledge that life is transitory, things get lost, and no one is going to remember the mistakes and success you've had fifty years from now is a liberating notion I wish more people discovered and took to heart.

@cbbruce1979 @NickEast @bookstodon @bookbubble @books @reading unless all those books are loaded onto a generation ship for people to read while they cross the galaxy looking for a new planet to colonize.
