'Cause I still love my parents and I still love the old world
I see that Salon's holiday gift suggestions for book lovers include "In the Library," a parfum that is "[b]lended to evoke old English novels, Russian and Moroccan leather bindings, and a soupçon of wood polish." This can only lead down a dangerous path: I picture hordes of horny bloggers descending upon the rare book rooms of our nation to make furtive love to the folios.
And it's not the social ostracism I worry about; it's the paper cuts.
If you must indulge, I say carve out a little privacy, close the curtains, spray "In the Library" all about, and take advantage of those literary napkins Salon's also touting. I wonder if they have one printed with "Love Again."
Anyway, to bring this shameful post to a close, I'm recommending a Rake Original Invention I call the Papercraft Kindle to all my literary friends this holiday season. It has all the awesome functionality of Kindle with the addition of that well-crafted, olde timey charm.

...and who doesn't love Jonathan Richman?
