I would never get along with a “downsize” type of person. I’m sure there are many people who would read this and wonder why anyone would own books, let alone display them on book shelves. These are the same type of people who would get rid of their books, once they’ve read them and they especially wouldn’t buy a book and not read it until several decades later.

But, that’s me.

And I’m not about to change now.

(BTW Ive read all of John Irving’s books and “The Hotel New Hampshire” is probably my favorite.)
