Why post it here when I could buy the book and have it on a shelf? I don't know.

Precisely my point.

I have several entries from different books here. I have only school books on my shelf.

Enjoy :)

BTW did you know that there is a movie The passion of Ayn Rand?:)

No.

And there's a book with the same name by Barbara Branden.

B.B. is Ayn Rand's biographer.

It's not because I can't afford buying new books or something. I just don't want to.

I didn't mean it.

Books are my extra brain. :) the more of them I have, the more brain power I harness :)

maybe when I have a place of my own.

GW:
"This ship is not for going to places, but for getting away from them. When I stop at a port, it's only for the sheer pleasure of leaving it. I always think: Here's one more spot that can't hold me"

The place of your own is your mind, the only place that should and can hold you. Everything else you'll ever own is transitory and largerly insignificant. Books don't belong to a "places of your own", their rightful destination is your mind, the only place one can't abandon.

To condition the ownership of books to the ownership of a place of one's own is to accept a bogging-down assimilation. One has to be able to get up and leave at the moment's notice, carrying one's mind only.

Then, why should I have the book in my posession? I cannot get anything out of placing it on the shelf. Should I want to reread it, it is always in the library.

Practicality. There are books that help you to define yourself, those books are worth to own.

First, you say that the ultimate destination for a book is your brain, and then you say that some of the books are worth having.:)

Are you capable of remebering all ideas you encountered in all books you have ever read? Library is a storage, your mind if the processor. To choose, have and return to books that formed you as a human as often as we need is one of a few luxuries that we can allow ourselves. Library restricts me in that regard. This is the only restriction I can't tolerate.

Зашел . Крякнул. Вышел . ))
