I think books can often be seen as an extension of our identities - who we are, or moreover, who we WANT to be. They offer an opportunity to further our knowledge, creativity, awareness, as well as being sexy design-art objects. However, when I look at my dozen great reads sitting closed on the coffee table I wonder what is stopping me from opening them and diving in? Perhaps I should go buy a book on that.
