    I would spend HOURS in that store, and leave with so many books. I can't read off an e-reader, and I hate paperbacks, so I buy hardcover books, and if I can find older, leather-bound copies I get ridiculously excited. My prized possession(s) is a three volume edition of War and Peace in navy-dyed calfskin with (most of) the gilt still intact. I've read it/them twice since I got them a year ago, and I've been back to the little store I found them in about two dozen times.

      I was a poor reader in elementary school always 2-3 years behind grade level. Always had a love of books. When I finally caught up in high school became a voracious reader. I now have so many books that my wife will not allow me to bring anymore into the house until I let some go. I think she is afraid floor will collapse due to their weight. But which to let go? Could you decide which of your children to get rid of?

      My iPad weighs 0.963 pounds. I have kobo, nook, iBook, Blio, and kindle ereaders on the device.
      I used to pack five or six hardback books in my roll-aboard luggage. About 10 pounds of my 25 pound limit.
      I just checked my kindle inventory. 4,661 books, 541 magazines, 211 audio books. All available for offline reading.
      And the tablet is only around half full. I still love old, hard bound books, but I would never go back from

      Will, while he is the president in this series, he's still a fictional character. And I hardly think that that requires him to have the same respect given an actual president. I always found it a bit odd to have a character from New Hampshire named Jed. Jed (as in Jedediah, I suppose) seems much more like a southern name to me.

I think that one should give gifts the receiver would like not that you'd like them to like, just because you do. Note that this doesn't count a parent giving a child stuff they truly need like clothing, etc.

Besides, some of the best presents I’ve ever received were things I didn’t think I needed or even wanted. But the person giving me the present truly thought I would get something out of them, as they had done.
