Would folks just prefer it if I tweeted about Beyonce? People wonder why I don't blog anymore. No one reads if it's more than 300 words at MOST anymore. In fact, I blame lack of reading on the mass decline of our society. Or inability to read on it as well. READ REAL BOOKS AGAIN!

"The Tale of Genji" written by Murasaki Shikibu (real name unknown) is a 11th Century Japanese novel written as two line poetic messages. All we know is that Muasaki was a female attendant in the royal court. Quality of poetry was critical. How about tweets as two-line poems?

I just finished reading "The Library Book" by Susan Orlean. While the book is about the 1986 fire that destroyed much of the Los Angeles Public Library, the author talks about libraries in general. The statistics show that library usage is growing. Books are being rediscovered.
