congratulations, Tom. I love stories like this, especially when they involve somebody discovering--and being inspired by--a new WRITER. I worry a lot about the eventual obsolescence of BOOKS (especially including the physical object itself, how it looks and feels and smells, etc.).

so this story makes me feel good.

I love the smell and feel of actual books too. I have to admit I listen to audiobooks a lot thanks to my 120 mile round trip commute into Portland for work several times a week. But I do get my hands on a physical book when I can. I spread my dear Pat the cat’s ashes in her vineyard today. So I changed my avatar to her picture.

good idea. I'm not changing mine for a long time, although I still prefer not to look at it too closely because of how sad it makes me.
