Schramm gets a Kindle



"Bill Buckley used delight in talking about his visit to the University of Salamanca, the second oldest university in Europe.  There was a room, not much bigger than my study at home, which housed the entire known literature of the West, as of the 13th century.  The monks and scholars entered the room to do their studying.  But they were notified by a sign above the arch, a bull of excumminication, signed by Pope Gregory IX: Remove a book from that library, and you go to hell."

Peter Schramm on why he will never be without a book here .
