Janie, I hope that post is clipped and added to the next several threads on this topic.


This thread has had me thinking the last couple days.
I'm in the US and have never seen one of the dreaded Blue Books.
If there wasn't for books tending to waste so much time, and blocking sound, I'm not sure I'd have the same opinion I have now.

For me, the biggest reason I wouldn't want to tote a book is the hassle of keeping track of it (to be sure it went home with me) and trying to figure out how to open the door with both hands full.

That doesn't really seem like a very strong objection.
I DO resent the time-eating aspect, but that can be eliminated by the Book User being prepared.
