Literary Discussions

Stop and think how many photo ops we see where a lawyer, doctor or politican sits posed before a book case whose shelves are crammed with HUGE books (and we know that some of those are props and not real books.)  Whenever someone enters my dwelling they stare in amazement at all the book cases. But is it not possible that on some level our pride encourages us to have physical books purely for display and the impression they make. We know that one kindle or website could contain all of those books. I love books too. I am an archaic anachronism.
