Actually, what disturbed me about the books strewn by the way was a connection I had made between this behavior and my own I had made over the weekend.
I remember that as a child I had been very careful with my books, except when I fell asleep with them and rolled over them and such. This weekend, I was looking at several books of mine and how ill-treated they were. Now that I have disposable income and much of that is going towards acquiring books, maybe I don’t think of books as precious anymore, just as commodities to be used and trashed.
I hope I have not grown so callous. Have I?
