Those aren’t really books that you read. They’re more like objects d’art that happen to have bindings. In the same category as clay pottery, which some people still make and display, but isn’t a regular part of most people’s lives.
I was thinking more of reading books in terms of content – like the great works: “War and Peace.”, “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, “The Bridges of Madison County”, etc.
It’s hard to imagine that a tax militia would be popular. And all that regalia.
Very true!
I’m weird in still living inside physical art.
Regarding the OP, I’d say the issue about “going electronic” on reading misses, largely, the visceral ongoing nature of physical objects.
Not that it is evil; merely limited.

Let’s not go there? It is not appropriate here to deconstruct whether Oz was worse than elsewhere on treatment of it’s originals?
(And I wrote too much in this thread already.)

Yo never know where a conversation can wander in a cafe, its not just about us but the onlookers and how we demonstrate compassion to our fellow humans
