Geek book collectors

[Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>]

A friend of mine is doing a newspaper article about the seemingly  
contradictory trend that he's noticed that many geeks also are  
voracious readers and have large book collections. I spend 10 hours a  
day staring at a computer screen, but I have a book collection of  
close to 1000 books. Yes, I have a problem.

Anyways, I was wondering if any of you folks share my problem, and  
would be willing to speak (or email) briefly with someone who's  
interested in getting to the bottom of our psychosis, and  
understanding why people so interested in computers and the internet  
would also care about something as archaic as ink on paper.

If you'd be willing, please drop me a note, and I can put you in  
touch with him.

Thanks.

Can't recommend http://www.delicious-monster.com/ enough btw, if you
have OS X :)

Let's you mix the book geek and tech geek in you.

Thanks, folks. The response was immediate and overwhelming. I think  
he's got enough to round out his research. :-)

It's good to know I'm not the only one with a problem.
