Looks like another bunch if pointless web2.0 applications. Too many people are launching webapps to try and offer services that already have perfectly suitable offline equivalents - a library in this case. The next dotcom bust is just around the corner.

Vikki,

I’m glad you mentioned the library. By the end of the second paragraph, I was like, “BUT what about the library?!!!” Then I saw that you added that on the bottom. I love the library. Yes, the library isn’t good for picking up the latest and newest books, but in any given library there are at least hundreds/thousands of books. SURELY you can find something to read?? I’ve found many new authors that way, which led me to later buying their new releases when it hits the market.

Also there is nothing like going into a library, just browsing books for hours, discovering new authors, and diving into the library database to see what comes up.

*throwing books at people who use online services*

you should try bookswap.com, although. it’s a service where you can swap books. All you have to do is pay for shipping. :)

I’m “D”eaf too, and I’ve read more books than most people do in their lifetime!

Don’t be such a jerk.

Vikki, I tried to post on your “excessive” blog, but comments are closed.

You can add this to the list of excessive buys. All that glitters are gold after all:

In a real hurry to compose that long comment? If that is what you’re like when you type in a hurry, I dread to see what you’d write when you have TIME.

In response to “For RLM”,

Oops! I mistype “nonfiction” book for John Grisham’s “The Firm”. My sincere apology to everybody here.

I somewhat was in real hurry to compose the latest entry. That is my bad habit of composing anything hastily without proofreading it first.

Where do you come off making such a broad, untrue assumption? I’m Deaf, and my house is full of books, and quite a few are hard cover!

I have never dropped a book in the bathtub. :) And I don’t have any mint edition, signed books. Sigh.

Nor do I have any porn magazines. ;-)

Virginia, I guess you haven’t been to many “D”eaf people’s homes. Gee, I wonder why you haven’t!
