"Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay. . ."The quote comes from Bookshelf Porn, a website dedicated to the spaces we find books.
Sometimes I put up a list of some interesting blogs. But this one deserves to have this post all to itself. Picture upon picture of books and bookshelves. And here and there apt quotes. Definitely worth a visit. Just click the link.
This blog also challenges how we think about what we mean by the word 'porn.' Why does it seem to fit here and what does it mean in this case? Does it just mean ;in excess'? And what does that do to our understanding of the traditional meaning of the word 'porn'?
