Physical booms are ornaments. There is no reason to waste money or space on them when large format ereaders that hold millions of PDFs exist. At least she is honest. I'm proud to say I don't have a single physical book in my house.

lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.

/lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make THOUGHTFUL, WELL-WRITTEN posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.

She did include the phrase "adult fiction and nonfiction" but I think the inability to elaborate on it or sub-divide it into meaningful categories means she reads like one real book a year.
