Heading out to take my daughter to the bookstore to buy authors works of art before they are changed and unavailable as they were intended to be received.

Few things are better than building your own library

There’s something special about turning a page instead of swiping. There’s something more censorship resistant about a hard copy of a book. The presence of books on shelves act as reminders of their contents. And I teach my child to take in information contextually, learning from how times have changed instead of pretending things were always as they are now.

That’s a cool resource and she has a tablet so we’ll check it out but also: #[3]

Yes, you’re absolutely right.

I just believe digital is more accessible to test and read, and a physical copy should be something reserved to the best of the best books.

Hardcover, if possible.

Just get a good e-reader for her and let Libgen be her infinite immutable library.
