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.

My first library card in decades is printed and waiting for me down the street, just gotta go pick it up and put it to use. Pretty fancy too, they have streaming content and all kinds of cool stuff now. I spent a lot of time in libraries. I'm glad reading is coming back in style.

haha I was going to suggest The Library Book in response to your tweet and then saw that your tweet was in response to a suggestion of The Library Book! I'm about 1/2 way through it. Wonderful reading....
