Between the Boards*

This is a blog on reading, writing, and the bookish life. I read and blog about books on military history, biographies, leadership, management, books on books, and just about anything else I find interesting. Read at a whim! (*Boards: The stiff binding material of a book is called a board. Every book has two boards, a front board and a rear board.)

On Books

"Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital."

-- Thomas Jefferson
