Frank, I would like to ask your opinion please as you seem very wise: what do you think about my habit of referring to small, inanimate, patently genderless objects as 'boys'? Like small books are boys to me. Is this sexist?

It seems weird to me to call books boys. Books are like cats in that they have souls.

Thank you, Frank. That seems like a very sensible answer.
