"Roger Ebert on Books"
 
i love this man, esp being a former Chicago resident, I fondly remember "At the Movies" with him and Gene Siskel on PBS before the show went national. I follow him on twitter as well. The man is brilliant. I want to share this article from the Chicago Sun-Times with my fellow book loving friends:

   Good article - I love how he remembers buying books in Paris for a few dollars and can totally sympathise with his biblomania:
'Like an alcoholic trying to walk past a bar, you should see me trying to walk past a used book store.'

Thanks for sharing.

   I love that quote. Every time I go to my used book store I come home with twice as many books as I'd planned. I love that place.
