Surprising Numbers

I was as surprised as anyone when I read this little tidbit on Publisher’s Weekly about bookstore sales. A growth that matches the entire retail market.

Apparently, even though we are told otherwise, people are still reading. Or more likely, like in Hollywood, a couple of blockbusters are carrying the industry numbers. Speaking of which, I wonder how much of an impact, in dollars, Oprah has on the publishing market.

How many books of any kind have you bought so far this year?

    It’s hard to imagine, how people have guts to write comments like that. I would never write anything like this, because I would have thought what other would think of me after that. I know that it doesn’t matter who you are in Internet, you can act however you want, but anyway I would remember that a man should act nice and polite, no matter if he is online or offline

    Diana: Um…which comments are you referring to?
