The best thing about books, and there are literarally thousands of things to love, is their patient permanence. They wait until their reader is ready for the knowledge between their spines. Some books I have had to try to read more than once before I could finally complete the pages. Some I have had to or wanted to read twice or more to fully process its meaning and or find its importance as it relates to my existence. The main reason I love owning so many books, being a bibliophile, is so that I can truly enjoy the best thing about books. I can read the book that best fits my need or desire at any given time without limits. The library is amazing, but some books require ownership, a permanent placement while I am on earth. Everything passes away, but perhaps knowledge is smart enough to find a loop hole...
