Ebook or Physical? (lemmygrad.ml)

I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

Before I packed up to go travelling China I resolved to give away all my books to charity (barring a very select few that went to friends for safe keeping).

Asides from it being absolute murder to move them, they acted as a really good history of how I've changed as a person. A lot of liberal bullshit books amongst what a gave away that I was genuinely upset to be giving to anyone. I should have burned them

this is the process I went through recently when I found Bernie's 2018 book Where We Go From Here: Two Years in The Resistance on my bookshelf. I have a deep-seated block against burning books but I think I might work through it for this one
