My venerable-looking bookcase is bursting with weather-beaten copies of old books, and I don't intend to throw them out just yet. I like to think of their disreputable condition as part of their charm. They're an anachronistic keepsake in the age of the Internet. You know. Like old mementos you can't bear to part with.
Occasionally I take some books out to renew my acquaintance with some of my favorite characters such as the distinctively odd but formidable M. Hercule Poirot and the harmless-looking but shrewd Ms. Marple. And oh, who can forget about super-lawyer Perry Mason and his girl friday Della Street? Or the resourceful Susan Dare and tough guy Mike Hammer? *sigh* I miss those guys.
