Frankly, I don't see the big deal about getting to read a book immediately
on publication. There are so many books out there that have been published
for a long time that I have never gotten around to that I can easily wait. I
have not actually read a Dan Brown book yet, but there are certain reasons
that I think I would likely be interested in them, so I hope to eventually
get around to it. But right now, immediately, I can't wait? No, I am too busy
reading something else that is also very interesting. I also have no sense
of urgency about getting around to reading any of the other best sellers.
Somehow reading a book because just everybody is reading it seems to me to be a
rather shallow reason for reading a book.

Let me also chime in. Even though we have been saying oh let's keep our
discussion to solving problems with scanning and proofing, etc.
Carrie, you, my friend, really, really tickled our little book loving
strings this morning.
Thank you, thank you!
How cool is that, that we get to read this book so quickly?!!?
Indeed, as someone said earlier, "When Carrie says she'll get something
done, it's a done deal!"
No fooling!
Maybe you should be in the Senate Finance Committee and get the health care
reform deal done? [chuckle]
Thanks again, Carrie.
You know, as I think on it I think The Da Vinci Code was among if not The
first book I downloaded and read from the Bookshare collection.
I do remember I did not have all my technology ducks in a row and I got
into reading with the the basic book wizard software and it had such a strange
voice
and strange navigation. But I got so hooked on the book, and not wanting to
lose my place, that I kind of stayed up real real late in the reading of
it.
This time, it's SWOOSH!!! into my Book Port and I'm heading right off to
begin reading.
I'll have to just take a bit of a break and return to my volunteer duties
later. [grinning]
I recall just reading a pretty good interview with Brown, and a review.
Wow. So cool!
