As a follow-up, I’d like to selfishly point you to this blogger, Murray Abramovitch, and one of his posts about quotations, which you use so well in your show.

If you poke around, and I hope you do, you will find that he is a former VP, so very much business minded, not just ‘literarian’. (And he also has a business blog, too.)

Great post, Wayne. I’m glad my tag could bring it out of you. It’s great to know a little more about you.

Thanks both of you…nice to have you join the conversation. I LOVED the year 1000… great book. I don’t think the paper book will ever disappear completely but just as people get their news from other sources than the newspaper now…the term “book” might come to mean paper or the electronic version….. until they invent a highlighter that won’t screw up the monitor I’ll stick to my paperbacks……

Love your images! mental poison ivy…very clever. But “literarily promiscuous” is tops. I haven’t come across something that good in a very long time!! I also, am LP, reading such things as “eat, love, pray” (christmas present–haven’t gotten past the intro), CSS Web Design for Dummies, and The Year 1000–a FANTASTIC historical portrait of England in the year 1000 and what it might have been like to live there then.

Beyond all the hype, I don’t think the paper version will ever go away–it’s just too good an experience to sit with a book in your hands.

Thanks,
Teresa

Good post. Nothing to be ashamed of in your list.

(Is it an ironic joke that ‘Beyond booked solid’ won’t be on the show? LOL.)

I’m reading ‘A game of inches’ that tells the history behind the rules and techniques of baseball. Unfortunately (or not) it doesn’t share about the actual middle managers (rule-makers and coaches) involved.
