Subject: RE: Are we serious about a Best of Mudcat book?
I'd also have to say that the idea of a real (as opposed to virtual) book shouldn't completely die; I work w/computor all day & really have love/hate w/them at best. I too like to settle into the couch & put my feet up, have a fire going & a great lovely mug of hot cha, blended from my various types of loose teas.. Ah, that's the way to read a good book. Not a cyber-book. That is for the cyber-folk; I think the non-cyber audience might be there.

Now; if a real book was to be considered I'd think the audience would be something like the audience for those books by the Unitarian minister, (as usual, can't remember his name offhand; my wife says it's Robert Fulgrum [sp?]), such as "It Was On Fire When I Lay down On It," or possibly the "Lake Woebegone" (Garrison Keillor) book, not necessarily PHC (radio), audience. Perhaps it could be arranged loosely by topic areas & excerpt relevent sections from whatever posts, tho this would take more organizing, I think a lot more. It's late 'n i gotta get to bed, but I'll try to think & say more on it. there's the glimmer of an idea floating around in my dim awareness. I'll try to bring it more into the light.

Cheers, BK
