I was just reading about reading stacks being collected in a pool over at Flickr and decided to share mine (click on the smaller icon to see the full-sized shot). In the stack we have Sex, Ecology, Spirituality by Ken Wilber, which I’m in the midst of now, Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky and Other Poems, and Jo Clayton’s The Magic Wars. On top is my Clie Palm PDA. Why? Because all the remaining books I have but have not read are in ebook form, just how I like it. I’m a bookworm who has embraced technology and the joys of being able to have dozens of books in my pocket.
What’s in your stack?
There is nothing more wonderful than a book. It may be a message to us from the dead, from human souls we never saw who lived perhaps thousands of miles away. And yet these little sheets of paper speak to us, arouse us, teach us, open our hearts, and in turn open their hearts to us like brothers. Without books God is silent, justice dormant, philosophy lame.
