"Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! And if one reads profitably, one would realize how much stupid stuff the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day" Voltaire

Nice quote, I like the idea behind it. I have to wonder though did Voltaire really say "stupid stuff"? That sounds like a very modern phrase to my ears

Please support your local public library : )

I have 41 items checked out from my library at the moment (our limit is 75) audiobooks, cds, movies, graphic novels, books of course! fiction and non fiction, cookbooks, wood working books, sci fi, mystery, dr. seuss, man I love the public library.

I'm so glad it exists as an ancient concept, because there's no way we could implement something as beneficial and sensical as "socialist" community libraries these days, lol! love you saidit
