No time to read? Just look at this

Procrastinating or wandering around on the wwweb can get a person into trouble. But it can also lead to some lovely discoveries, which is what I'd call finding C.J. Grossman's site packed with uber-creative things like this. Quick - go have a peek at what she does with Art-Jazz-Books - I'll cover for you.

As long as you're out sightseeing, stop to see some of Math Monahan's intricate, beautiful braided books too.


PS: Reading C.J.'s bio makes me think she may have invented the e-reader... wonder if Al Gore knows about this?

Old books, new readers

Thankful, thankful, thankful.

As a reader I'm thankful for eyes that work well enough to enjoy the printed word. As I get older grow up I'm grateful for cheap reading glasses and good lighting, too. As a pack rat, I'm always grateful for the people and institutions who graciously receive my dusty old books and breathe new life into them.

What do you do with your old books?

Doctor and dentist offices, schools, new school teachers, after-school activity centers, and a slew of charities can get your once-loved-but-long-shelved volumes into the hands of folks who will enjoy them as you did.

Why not go clean off a shelf right now? It's a lovely, tangible way to share your love of reading.

And to make room for new books ;)
