What is L-Space, anyway?

According to Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series:

Even big collections of ordinary books distort space and time, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned second-hand bookshop . . . .
The relevant equation is Knowledge = Power = Energy = Matter = Mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read. Mass distorts space into polyfractal L-space, in which Everywhere is also Everywhere Else.

All libraries are connected in L-space by the bookwormholes created by the strong space-time distortions found in any large collection of books.

About me

I'm a geographically confused Texan (currently living in the Baltimore area) who hopes to return ASAP. I love to read, mostly scifi and fantasy, but variety is nice so who knows what'll show up here. I get most of my books on audio for convenience, but I still try to squeeze in a real book every now and then ^_~
