Jan Morris interviewed in The Guardian by Tim Adams

[quote]

Morris looks around her bookshelves, the thousands of books that line
this long room floor to ceiling. "People always say: 'Have you read
them all?'" she says. "No. but I have an emotional attachment to them
all. I pick an old book out and if it is interesting I read a few
pages. I put letters and photographs and cards in them to find later."

In a little thought experiment, I wonder of projects in the field of
digital humanities and whether there are "Easter eggs" tucked away
among the bits.
