So. Sad.

Borders closed its doors forever and this photo has been circulating the web ... Just makes me so sad. Like this website says: "No matter what you think about mega-bookstores or Borders management, this is a sad year for everyone who loves books."

There's nothing I love more than getting lost in a bookshop, resisting temptation to buy more tomes than I know what to do with ... I cannot imagine relying on digital e-books! I value José's father's 2,000+ book library much more now. Perhaps one day books will be more valuable than gold, since they might be just as scarce.
