John Collison and I spent far too long looking at books.
Charles Dickens, Tom Wolfe, and Charlie Munger line the shelves in "The Library," a nook in Stripe’s San Francisco offices. Collison shares my love for Wolfe (he agrees that his best work transcends The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test). We pick up books, thumb through them, talking like two obsessive readers who are making just a bit of a book stack-mess.
