At the heart of it all, I’m a fan. A fan of books and bookstores. A fan of fiction and non-fiction. A fan of authors and publishers. And most of all I’m a fan of great conversations sparked by books. All that to say - I really need more bookshelves.

Area author in B’ham News

Veronica Pike Kennedy wrote a review in Sunday’s Paper of Dennis Love’s My City Was Gone, published by William Morrow, a Harper Collins imprint. The book is about Anniston’s plight with toxic PCB’s and Monsanto over the years.

(Please note: The author used to be a reporter at the News. So don’t be surprised if Love gets some love from the paper.)

A bit premature?

I’m finishing up Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail. It’s an interesting look at, what Anderson thinks as “current trends” in online retail.

I was just be-bopping along when I read Lee Gomes insightful WSJ article. Maybe Anderson is looking a bit too far into the future? And making a few too many assumptions?

I’ll post thoughts when I get done.
