 Man, this is fucking rad! Way to go guys! I'm crying and laughing and impressed and wishing I had a list of everything you're burning right now. Would that I could come to Kansas City to book scout. So what do we need here now to fuel the opposite flame this one merely draws attention to? The dwindling candle of reading minds in our "great" nation. Incite celebrities and athletes to write books for children and young adults which encourage youth to read? Just finished reading Ecotopia, so of course my thoughts are lofty. But I imagine a sustainable, fully-greened publishing and textbook industry supported by a network of independent bookstores paired with local online dealers. I imagine local communities taking over Barnes and Nobles and Borders locations nationwide and localizing them, staffing them, changing the tones of them to fit the precise spot they are located. I imagine a world where we remember that reading is still looking, just with a different form of thought attached, that a picture is not worth a thousand words and sometimes, the exact opposite is true. Dear Book Lovers; There are worse crimes than burning books, one is not reading them. ~ Joseph Brodskey The individual who won’t read has nothing over the individual who cannot read. ~ Mark Twain

Or, maybe not.

And now the dots suggest a combined image, perhaps lending a clue to the deeper meaning of why I had the compulsion to collect this information. Maybe this will provide some spiritual signpost ...

Now I allow the UML dots to float freely in space, as if they were a constellation of black holes.
