Quote: MARGARET ATWOOD from NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEAD
Margaret Atwood
Negotiating With the Dead - A Writer on Writing
"All writers are double, for the simple reason that you can never actually meet the author of the book you have just read. Too much time has elapsed between composition and publication and the person who wrote the book is now a different person."

ICE HOTEL NOT THE PLACE TO TAKE MR. GRINCH
This Ice Hotel is not the place to take your own personal Mr. Grinch (even if he's a REFORMED Mr. Grinch.) Isn't it about time to take off on a trip all by your not-so-lonesome and rendevous with someone new? One may think so, having a holiday season in Raunchy Los Angeles, California, home of so many palm trees wrapped in Christmas lights year long.

AFTER THREE DAYS WITHOUT READING
"AFTER THREE DAYS WITHOUT READING, TALK LOSES ITS FLAVOR."
I thought this quote was rather interesting. I think many people - especially those who do not see talking as sharing "personal" information- do rely on the MEDIA for information that sparks them, and which they pass on to others who they imagine are interested in the same subjects. For many, the reading is the newspaper, or the news posted on the Internet. The public libraries are full mostly of people who are using the Internet for e-mail, blogs, and websites, job search, resume building, and informational resources. But while journalists for pay pride themselves on the accuracy of their reporting and take some responsibility, many websites that are contributory are about rumor mongering, or even have dark agendas.
Evaluating the usefulness of a web site is important.
