Comment on Week 3, Thing 7: Of technology related interest… by librefree https://librefree.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/week-3-thing-7-of-technology-related-interest/#comment-10 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:18:17 +0000 http://librefree.wordpress.com/?p=20#comment-10 I like your perspective…. :0) I think the real problem is my guilt complex in that checking the feed readers and working online somehow doesn’t feel like REAL work, so I want to take as little time doing it as possible because I feel badly taking ANY time for it….Which is, admittedly, a bit foolish.

And thanks for all your other replies – I haven’t gotten to “Candyfreak” yet, but it’s top on the list. :0)

Here it is…MARC and laser printers take time from one area so I can use that time in some other way. I think it’s not really about saving time as much as it is about re-appropriating time. There.

Comment on Week 3, Thing 7: Of technology related interest… by Helen https://librefree.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/week-3-thing-7-of-technology-related-interest/#comment-6 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:47:53 +0000 http://librefree.wordpress.com/?p=20#comment-6 I think you’re probably right that technology doesn’t save time, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For instance, MARC and lazer labels makes it possible for that pile of books that I can process in one day so much bigger, and I like that. But I also like that I still have to spend the time affixing the labels and displaying new books. I don’t know, I guess it’s not really about how much time we spend, but how we spend the available time. I must spend at least an hour or two over the course of a day checking my feed reader and email, but I like it. I can see how that would seem like a waste of time to folks, but I learn so much because I *can* learn that way. Technology really makes you have to assess how you prefer to spend time and how you best learn.

Comment on Forgotten titles or plots or people, but something remembered… by Helen https://librefree.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/forgotten-titles-or-plots-or-people-but-something-remembered/#comment-3 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:03:19 +0000 http://librefree.wordpress.com/?p=9#comment-3 Jeanette Winterson’s “Art and Lies” single-handedly made me turn my frown upside-down about fiction in general. I think I was 20? and I have never read ANY fiction beyond the first couple of chapters that wasn’t assigned. I had never before or since read anyone that approaches Jeanette Winterson for the profound effect on my imagination.

Also, I read the book “Ishmael” by Daniel…? in high school and it still sticks with me…fading images, snatches of text. I couldn’t tell you what that book is about anymore, but there you go.

Comment on Help me, I’m stuck! by Helen https://librefree.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/help-me-im-stuck/#comment-2 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:54:41 +0000 http://librefree.wordpress.com/?p=10#comment-2 The two best books I read in recent memory were:

“Candyfreak” by Steve Almond
“Second Hand” by Michael Zadoorian

I hope they don’t disappoint if you haven’t read them already.
