Oh, I'm with you there. The only difference is, I find those kinds of books everywhere. Perhaps it's because that even with some umpteen-million+ copy bestseller, I have no trouble convincing myself that the author wrote "that little bit right there," just for me and no one else. How I find a book has no bearing on how much it moves me, or makes me smile, or makes me cry, or makes me snort soda from my nose. I love books. I just have no illusions that that love is based on anything other than what they say to me when I read them.

Even before ebooks and online ordering, I didn't care about cover images, colors, or book smells, or book-store atmosphere. I wanted to find a book, and get out of the store as soon as possible so I could get home to read it.
