Many Books

2008-01-25 by Herb Sutter

When I walk into a Chapters or a Borders, seeing the many shelves of books often recalls the ancient writer’s words about quality vs. quantity, circa 1000 BC:

"To the making of many books there is no end."

So true. Yet that observation predates the printing press… and netnews… and now RSS.

(Yes, I’ve been thinking of managing-down my Google Reader subscriptions again…)
