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!
