For the Love of Books

When the Williams family moved this summer from our long-time home in Carrollton, Georgia to Ashland, Ohio, a truth we had internalized for a long time became patently, weightily, painfully clear to our movers: our earthly possessions, all that we have stored up for the joy of moth and (book)worm but, most of all, for our own daily delight, consist largely of … books. A lot of them. Boxes upon boxes of them, which when unboxed in our new home, filled up a roomful lined with bookcases, and many more (bookcases) besides.
