I do miss going to bookstores. It's a lot more convenient to get books these days. But it's not as fun.
This week I almost ... almost ... went to a book signing by James Rollins down at our local large bookstore. The Tattered Cover. I struggled with my final decision not to go. But it would have been about a 45 minute drive each way for me, in the evening, into the the middle of Denver - which I don't consider the ultimate in personal safety. On one hand I wish I would have gone. James Rollins is my favorite author. But on the other hand, I'm not terribly upset that I didn't. A decade or two ago I wouldn't have hesitated for a single second.
