When was the last time you paid a visit to your local library?

Yes, Google is the answer to almost everything, but still not going that well with "42", are we? PDF there, .epub and .whatnot in the other corner, but how about actually reading a bloody book? A book, as a physical entity, that you can hold in your hands, flip the pages around, feel the texture and so on... Something you can take with you to Mars, should that be your final destination. A book. A simple book, for Bob's sake.

As a kid my parents did not let me go out much and did not let me own books. I used to borrow them until they put a stop to my outings to the library. From then on I had to rely on the web, ebooks of any sort. The content mattered more to me at that point considering the situation. I did not have a choice.
