In response to: Tom Stoppard and the Bookcase of Desire robyn a commented: maybe instead of him getting a kindle, he should mass produce that box. I LOVE IT! i think there are two types of readers - those who want the story and those who want the story AND the book (the dust cover, the pages, the ink, print, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera). i LOVE that box!

In response to: Tom Stoppard and the Bookcase of Desire Julie commented: Are you going to work the Kindle into every single blog entry from now on? I hope Amazon is paying you handsomely for all this shilling. As for me, I'm removing this blog from my bookmarks. I've got nothing against the Kindle, but I have a lot against having it shoved down my throat, like there's something wrong with both Tom Stoppard and me if we don't have one right this minute. I'd rather read blogs that talk about books, not blogs that talk about reading devices that store books.

In response to: Tom Stoppard and the Bookcase of Desire Bethanne commented: Julie, I'm sorry you won't be reading any more -- especially since I plan plenty of future entries that have nothing to do with the Kindle. The reason my blog has the word "maven" in the title (one of its meanings is "freak," after all) is that I tend to get enthusiastic about things. My blog talks about reading experiences as well as books, and I know that while I hate to lose a reader, there are others who enjoy hearing about reading experiences, too.

In response to: Tom Stoppard and the Bookcase of Desire Kevin A. Lewis commented: Don't worry about it, Bethanne-some people just have no sense of humor and can't roll with a change of tempo...
