So It's Two Weeks Later

Remember this mental block? Solution found. The bookmark I've been using forever sports a pithy quote that I hadn't noticed before about May 20.
"The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity. . . "
—A. Edward Newton
I know I've had this bookmark for a while, because it's from Twenty-Third Avenue Books in Portland, Oregon. I haven't been to Portland since my sister's wedding 2 years ago (2 years and 10 days, actually).

But getting back to that quote; if it's true, then I think I'm halfway to eternity by now. And poor bookshelf-inundated Dan would probably agree.
