It's Sunday, and I'm at one of the sacred places for
authors and readers: The L.A. Times Book Festival on the USC campus:
What a rush to be at the country's biggest book
festival. In an age of video distractions, it is so gratifying to see
that masses of people still worship books. (Although I realize that,
increasingly, books are read on video screens, some as small as those
on smart phones.)
I'm exhibiting my books alongside 600 other authors. The
vibe at this event is that books are still considered high-value
items, and reading them, high-value experiences.
For a lot of attendees, books are even cool.
