My wife and I are 70 this year. We live out in the wilds (nearest neighbour just under 2 miles). Our children are now making noises about us downsizing and moving to the nearby centre of civilisation(you wouldn't say that if you knew!!) In a small bungalow we would only have room for a 3ft X 2ft bookcase each. What happens to my books? "You don't need 'em Dad - not at your age!"
My Sony 505 has just over 540 books on it and the number is rising almost daily.
My wife has diabetic retinopathy and needs large print or better yet me to read to her.
The sheer unadulterated pleasure of sitting in front of a log fire in the winter and reading Dickens out loud is unmatched by few other experiences I have ever had. Please don't try to limit me to the choice of about 20 books.
You take away my Sony only over my dead body!!! (Or perhaps it should be 'prise it from my dead hand.'
