“There are handfuls of books I try to keep close at hand at any given time, knowing how often I might return to them. […] Why is there a puppet on the floor? Occasionally the shelves overwhelm. Only today, our five year old suggested I need to give away some of my books. I must have one hundred books, she said. […] Anytime I’m asked what titles I return to, I know I only have to look around my immediate vicinity to properly respond. There are easily far more that I simply can’t see from where I am. Books buried underneath other books.”
