I'm a "moral conundrum"? I've not been called one of those before. Is that a compliment, a criticism, or an observation?

You need to read your Shelley again. Once you've unleashed your "hideous progeny"; set him ablaze with your Promethean fire; only the monster can unmake himself, and he's currently having too much fun.

I prefer "Marc I" (I'm near as fond of association with "Mark" as I am "Marcus", and my mind tends to subsequently boil like a cauldron full of snakes).

Sometimes I suspect Adrian is more real than me. I wonder if
I may be
his imaginary friend.
On-topic: I occasionally clear out my pbooks of all the chaff I've no intent of reading, referring to or recommending ever again. I've only just done it in the last week or so. These books will go down to the secondhand bookstore at the bottom of the hill, most likely, and I'll probably dump the cash in at one of the nearby charity shops.
I suspect I'll always maintain a pbook library. In fact, if ebook supply approaches infinity through ease of copying, I wonder if a well-bound, archival pbook may become one of the "scarce goods" for some authors and their fans.
Cheers,
Marc
