  1. That is a fan­tas­tic video. I wasn’t famil­iar with Dan Kraus. I’ll have to look him up. Last year (I think) I was in line at a movie the­ater. We were on our way to watch The Descent. I had a copy of The Angry Clam with me and was read­ing it while we were wait­ing to get drinks. A guy behind me tapped my shoul­der and told me to get mov­ing. I shuf­fled along.

    When we got into the the­ater, my wife said “Oh, I thought you were going to get into it with that guy.” “Why?” I asked. Appar­ently he had men­tioned that I was get­ting a lit­tle big to be read­ing books in pub­lic. I hadn’t heard a word:)

    Isn’t that the point? I find that the abil­ity to get lost in a book is a gift. And I per­son­ally believe that it’s more scarce in gen­er­a­tion text-message. I grew up lov­ing books, and I notice that the more time I spend online, the harder it is for me to con­cen­trate on “hard” read­ing. I WANT to read and still have a hard time some­times with­out my hyper­links. I talked about this with Leslie Burger at a con­fer­ence in Salt Lake City. She said she was glad to hear she wasn’t the only book-lover who was for­get­ting to read on paper.

    Love the video. Love the site. Thanks for another great entry.
