Now that my head is finally coming up to the water level, I’m starting to see how many things I’ve missed with my tunnel vision over the last 2.5 years. I’ve subscribed to Library Journal for about 2 years now, but only took the opportunity to visit the website (in particular, the In the Bookroom section) for the first time this weekend.

What fun “In the Bookroom” is! I had no expectations of what it might be, but I discovered a fun collection of blog entries that convinced me that I might actually want to see Will Smith’s new movie (I Am Legend – I tend to stay away from things that brag in the title), and offered up at least 2 books that I am interested in checking out. I have already ordered Reif’s Living with Books via interlibrary loan – and I’ve asked Amazon to alert me when Coffee at Luke’s (a collection of essays about Gilmore Girls) is published.

This could become a dangerous new habit. Could the coming months find me spending more, not less, time on the computer than I have over the last 3 years?
