  Used to feel that way, but realized that printed and bound words don’t necessaily have value. Some books simply suck.

  Got excited seeing the cull cart at my library. Free books! My god they were garbage, no idea how someone agreed to print them.

  Also, non fiction can get dated. Growing up in the 70s, I had a wonderful kid’s book about science. One article was about asbestos and how it’s a useful and wonderful material. Yeah.

  Also, Pluto was the 9th planet, debunked dinosaur theories, stuff like that. Love to have it back, but I wouldn’t let my kids read it. :)

  Reading anything cool?
