I buy the Times each morning, even though I also read it sporadically through the day for free on the internet. I do this because I am a fabulously rich man, but with the recession this will soon change, and it’s time that we stopped spending money on words. There are so many words to be found online! But there’s also so much that won’t be found online, so many wonderful things that you must pay for. Of course soon that won’t matter because we’ll be wheeling around our currency in wheelbarrows, and only people with valuable services to trade (doctors, farmers, graphic designers) will be able to acquire new books.

In response, we’re creating a lending library at 801A. Contribute a book to our library, and you can have borrowing rights, which will serve you well when you need to burn things in order to keep warm.
