Lamb credits Warren Burger andTom Wolfe with increasing his interest in reading. He has been to the gravesite of every United States president and vice-president.[5] Lamb is not registered as a Democrat or Republican and has voted for candidates in both parties during presidential elections.[7]In July 2008, John McCain jokingly described his political affiliation as, "I think he's a vegetarian."[9] In an interview Lamb stated he has "been listening to both sides so long that I don't know what I think anymore."[10] When he is not working Lamb describes his life as, "simple things: movies, music, friends."[5] His home in Arlington, Virginia contains his collection of approximately 3,000 books.[7

Do you trust Wiki to get these facts right? I guess I do. That's why I put them here.
Do you have more than 3000 books? If so, like me, you are truly a book lover. Or perhaps a book dealer. Or just renting a closet in a bookstore.
Books are your best reading value, since they cannot, like my iMac, actually stop working and not allow you to read. Of course, now, there are digital devices that allow you to read very nicely.
I heard on NPR somewhere (sometime) that perhaps in ten or so years, much of the publishing will be e-publshing. It makes sense, but would you actually use your B+N nook to read in the bathtub? DO they have, like many point-and-shoot cameras, a model waterproof and rated for down to 20' of water? Hot tub would require at least 120 (Damn, what's the degrees keystroke?)
OK, keep reading, and I won't take months to do another post here, since I really do love books.
