Blog Name: Dr. Johnson's Compendium of Books!
Url: http://horrorfictionnews.com/blog
Language: English
Topics: books, book collecting, reading
Description: Doc Johnson’s Compendium of Fantastic, Whimsical, & Weird Books! is a look into the mind of a passionate book person. It is about what I read, collect, think about, rant about, contemplate, and at times fly off the handle about. I read across multiple genres. I mainly stick to the Weird and SF. I delve into new genres with a single mindedness to the point of exhaustion and mental fatigue. If it were possible, I would read every book ever written, build a building just to house my Library and live out my last days enjoying the printed page. That reminds me of a New Yorker Magazine cartoon. There is a couple with a real estate agent standing in the middle of an apartment which is empty. However, the room is filled with built in book cases and you can see in the hallway, more built in book cases. The couple says to the Agent, “So the previous owners they were freaks right?” Or something to that affect. Book collectors are crazy. There are stories of collectors that purchased houses just to store their books. Umberto Eco reportedly has 100K volumes and the weight makes his floors sag. .
