"Put down that wrench!"

I used to have more, but went through a pretty aggressive donate-to-charity-or-friends policy before our lodger moved in, to free up bookshelves and prepare for when we inevitably have to move. As physical artefacts I find books quite a pain, though. I'm quite a fan of electronic readers - I would get rid of practically every book I had if I could have the information replaced on a Sony Reader or Iliad type device.

Fortunately for my reader street cred (but unfortunately for the amount of packing I will get lumped with when she/I/we move), I have dear fides buying up academic texts and fantasy novels like they were going out of fashion.
