It's a collection/hobby kind of thing. All hardcovers. Slowly acquiring all the hugo winners is one project, and otherwise a book has to be pretty good to earn a spot on what shelf space I have. There is pleasure in looking over the bookcase and remembering old reads. And if you can't quite recall a title, a quick thumb through it will bring it back. Ebooks aren't good for that.

Plus I truly believe that your bookshelf can reveal quite a bit about you as a person. I wouldnt dream of poking about someone's home I was in, but if you display your books I will definitely take a look!
