i travel light. i love books. never the twain shall meet?
i’d pull an erdos if i could. having all my possessions in a carry-on strikes me as incredibly liberating. less clutter, more flexibility is more good, hence better.
with all my data either in the cloud or on my thinkpad, that leaves only books in the brain food department. while owning books is great, and building a library an accomplishment (never mind the photo opportunities that a well-stocked study affords), books are heavy, bulky travel hindrances.
yet figuring out the customs at the local library, and working your way towards a coveted library card is too much of a burden. library cards should be as federated as the catalogs, ideally with a single global database of the digerati. move over, tired visa. make room for the knowledge card.
