| | | Posted by Annunziata Oh my god, I LOVE the act of reading an actual book! I love the smell of old books. I love the look of bookcases filled to overflowing; I love libraries; I love collecting books. Today I bought five books (although one was a biography of Gaudi for Jono).

I'm the same way! I think it's a weird addiction. Our bookcase recently collapsed because we have too many haha. My boyfriend stores about 10 boxes worth at his store because we can't fit them all in our apartment. Yeah, we've got the problems

Heavens, no! I have a broad range of interests that include Art (photography, sculpture and printmaking mostly), Crafts (lots of how-to books on textiles), History (WWII and the Victorian era), Collecting, Antiques, Architecture, Folk Art, Plants, MAPS, Museums, Germany, Illustration, Children's books (the one kitchen cupboard is all children's books), books about books....I could go on. I love books.
What does that mean? Oooooh, I just Googled it. The spraypaint. I have never spraypainted a building, if that's what your little smiley-devil face was insinuating! I use it on paper that I make.

Just started reading that this week. Had several copies of it, and finally picked one up. Pretty good stuff. Maybe I can use his lessons to effectively incapacitate the sales competition at work. I've actually found technical manuals to be somewhat helpful, like the NEC Code Book, and random mechanical/plumbing/electrical references. Yet to have had a use for the knowledge which they've imparted upon me, but I figure once I get inside the 851st, it'll help being able to trace pipes and cables to different parts of the complex.

Art is not a crime...vandalism is a crime. My little devil face only insinuated that you know good paint. I personally love looking at / doing graffiti and I apologize to no one about it. I know some of the urban explorers here contest this point but in the city I live in, its sometimes a persons only form of expression.

I just pulled my copy of Collapse off the bookshelf, and found my missing copy of Access All Areas hiding behind it. Coincidence? I think not.
edit: this is actually true - I didn't make this up to be funny. [last edit 3/31/2009 9:05 AM by metawaffle - edited 1 times]

| | | HA! Appropriate indeed. Collapse is an amazing book. None of it is new information. . . . but the world would do better to heed Diamond's words than, say, Al Gore's. It's LAND USE, not emissions that drives change.
