It's been a busy week here in Vermillion. I've finalized launch on three web sites and we're moving across the country tomorrow. As you can see, not much time for blogging. But in the interim, I have a question for my readers out there.

How much do you value literature in your day-to-day lives?

I know there's a student in each and every one of you that wants to please the teacher, but I'm looking for honest answers here. How often do you read? How often to you think about what you read after you read it? Are books your go-to Christmas gift simply because you can't think of anything else your recipient might want?

I'm curious to know. I'd like to see if what we do is worth doing at all. I have a feeling I'll get a skewed response from readers (if I get one at all), but I'm okay with skewed. Better skewed than stewed, I always say.
