My technologically inclined spouse has promoted new readers for e-books, like the Kindle, but I fear books will go the way of periodical rooms. The physicality of the books enhances my reading experience. Great post, John.Kelly J.

I had been meaning to post on it but forgot. <BR/><BR/>Readers interested in that topic should also read Richard Brookhiser's review of Stephen Waldman's recent book in last Sunday's NYTBR:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/books/review/Brookhiser-t.html<BR/><BR/>I agree with Waldman's view of religion and the founding, for what it's worth.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your post, John. I don't mind online journals, though I of course always print out what I want to read. The things I read regularly (JAH, Church History, B&C) I can't imagine only reading online or not having the entire issue.John G.

Not an internet search feature, but a search just of your site. I just finished Jill Lepore's article in the April 14th New Yorker and wanted to search your site for any additional information on Wills and the others she mentions. Thanks for your good site and your consideration of the idea to add a search feature. Here's a link to Jill's article in case you missed it: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2008/04/14/080414crat_atlarge_leporeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
