As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community: The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies. I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Sad day in history. On this day Nov 22 1963 we lost John F Kennedy, C.S. Lewis & Alduous Huxley. All on the same day..... and of course we were profoundly affected by the death of JFK but Lewis and Huxley were great literary losses... #history #writers #politics #literature #JFK #CSLEWIS #Huxley

So color coordinating #books is a thing?? Like, all red all blue all green covers?? What about content/subject matter/substance? I don't get it.. but if you saw my house you would understand why.... me: this gallon returned paint is only 5.00? Yup, works for me and my living room... #decorating

#Bookcollections can be anything you want and no need to break the bank. Early reprints or facsimile reprints, some with fine binding appointments, can be just as special as the true #firsteditions Just collect what you love and love what you collect. #Books #bookcollectors #homelibraries
