Lately I have been messing about with LibraryThing. I am enough of a visual guy that I like the database of my books to have a decent picture of them. I was trying to get a picture of the dust jacket on this recent BOMC edition. I usually nod off fairly quickly when I start reading Mr Plato, but I thought I would give it another chance when I saw that Alain de Botton had written the introduction. He is my favorite philosopher and essayist these days. I couldn't figure out how to get the transparent cover off the dust-jacket so my hand and the camera are seen in the lower part of the image. I guess that proves it is mine in case anyone disputes the matter.

I have a small problem

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
