A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.

department of anthropology at the university of tumblr

commonunity:

would like to start a department of anthropology and create high paying tenured positions for all my fellow anthro related tumblrs. please sign up below and/or list your dream job.

Hm, so if this was a real job…

I’d be a specialist in material culture, and particularly in the material culture of books. I am fascinated by the way people use and relate to books as physical objects and as entities, and it would give me so much time to be around them and learn about them in greater detail.
