Quotation of the Day for March 10, 2013"Along with embossed hardcovers or tattered paperbacks, the 'book beside the book' will soon seem quaint. You know the feeling: searching for something specific and stumbling on another book you've been curious about, then finding yourself, almost involuntarily, leaning against a wall or sinking onto a footstool, happily giving up the next half hour of your life. I'm sure some people think of browsing as an invitation to distraction, but I like to think of it an intellectual stroll. Some paths lead to meaningless cul-de-sacs, others to revelations." - Claire Barliant, in "The Art of Browsing" from The New Yorker.
