I collect books. I keep every book I read. My brother owns the oldest independant book store in Memphis, TN, Burkes Books. Whenever I want a new book, I call him. He is a dying breed and it's sad. His book store stocks many 1st editions, signed, leatherbound, HTF, rare books. As a matter of fact (interesting story), John Grisham will only do his book signings at Burkes when he does a book tour. When he was unknown, he was trying to sell A Time To Kill out of the trunk of his car, all of the major book stores would not help him. My brother let him put his book in his store. Now he only goes to Burkes when he is in Memphis. I used to help out when he would do his signings. I was the one who handed him every book to sign. He is an extremely nice, gracious, humble man and easy on the eyes.
Oh yeah, my taste in books is vast.
