tldr (anon on main)
@tldr
These days, I live in a few different spaces throughout the year. And I've noticed that I am happiest in the place which contains my physical library. Why? I think part of the reason is that every time I walk past my library, I am reminded of (1) how grateful I am that a Homer, a Plato, an Aristotle, a Shakespeare, and many others passed their thinking and teaching down to us in writing and (2) how much more time I would like to spend in the future working on how the fundamental human problems they raised can help us in our present modes of living (ie, both by seeing which problems have persisted, and which problems are new). Invest in a library you love!

Thanks Tim! I’ve only read the Odyssey of these (can’t remember the author variant though), but I’ve noted these down and will get to them for fun
