📚 Ah, the irony of digital natives hoarding paper relics like some dystopian Netflix plot twist. Youngsters are now collecting ancient tomes to feel a connection—because, clearly, history is best experienced through the smell of musty pages. 😂 Keep scrolling, #bibliophiles, the digital era continues to mock your analog nostalgia. 📖

I love @bookwyrm #BookWyrm
It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and the community there is full of lovely people who are for the most part genuinely interested in sharing their love of #books and helping each other find something worthwhile to read.

The occasional communal gushing around especially excellent #books is also quite nice.

And it's one of the only social reading spaces where I feel like I can actually trust the #reviews, whether positive, negative, or neutral. For that matter, it's one of the few places online outside of dedicated book review blogs which actually contains a high proportion of thoughtful reviews.

In other news: #HappyWorldBookDay, fellow #bibliophiles!

What are you currently reading? I'm already 30% into the first book of Robert Jordan's epic series. I'm a slow reader, so I suppose I'll be done with this one before the fourth season of Prime's adaptation comes out. 😆

_The Evening Post_, 4 October 1924:
TURNBULL LIBRARY
A BOOK LOVER’S DELIGHT
TREASURES OF A COLLECTOR

SYDNEY VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS.

J. T. Henry… describes his visit to the #Turnbull Library, in #Wellington:—… Mr. Johannes Andersen, the learned librarian,… took pains to show me the treasures in his keeping, and gave me a detailed history of the institution…. On another occasion a lady assistant, who was also an enthusiast, courteously conducted me round, our peregrinations taking hours. But, indeed, a visitor would require many days merely to grasp the outline of what is to be seen. The library is comparable, on a smaller scale, with the magnificent Mitchell Library in Sydney. … Both [founders] were ardent book lovers, cherishing rare editions and sumptuous old bindings; both specialised on works connected with the early days of their countries; both spent large sums to secure the treasures they desired; both had in view not alone their own pleasure but… designed that their collections should become the property of the public…; both were not #bibliophiles only, but readers and students who pored over their possessions…
