Re: eBooks swelling like dead corpses, offered like buffet.

I love books as physical objects (for example, S by J.J. Abrams may not be a good novel, but it is a thing of beauty), their smell, the feeling of pages in my fingers, but it is true that with an electronic reading device dust, lack of availability, lack of physical space and affordability are no longer a problem.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

I couldn't agree more, especially with the first part of your sentence!
