There's SO much competition for people's attention these days. I heard a reassuring stat a few weeks ago, Barnes and Noble began adding locations instead of closing them for the first time in well over a decade. There are a lot of us Americans who would benefit from reading, let me tell ya. : )

I find I feel so much better if I read a little every day--the day feels incomplete without it. My newest one is Entrances and Exits, Michael Richards' bio.
