    Tsundoku.

    I own about that many. Fortunately a large percentage is PDFs. Never the less I have about 200 linear feet of shelf space to hold my books in my "library" and in my home office.

      What makes you say that? I didn't get that feeling at all, and found it pretty interesting as well.

        Things like:

        > Not eventually. Quickly. The relationship between books and shelf space is not linear; it is exponential,

        Are pretty AI in style: Over use. Of. Short. Sentences. - The it's not this; it's that - in a way that doesn't make sense - I mean books/meter is linear.

        etc.

        Not sure about the morals of using AI. I assume there really is a Bruno van Branden with 28k books?

      I too enjoyed reading it and found it well written, with only a few passages that made my “AI” nose perk up. But FWIW, Pangram agrees with deadletterq. Guess this is one of those <matrix_steak_joe_pantoliano.jpg> moments.
