Madonna tops Balzac in book sales . . . E-Bay and E-books -- Amazon and ABE -- become the alpha and the omega in the book trade . . . No urban philosopher like Walter Benjamin can offer insight into $1 books costing $17 upon delivery while $17 titles go for $4 in local used bookstores. What was priceless to our mind is now sold dirt cheap . . . the ephemera reaches skyward. . . We're in an oxymoron rabbit hole caving in upon the reading room !
"The barn rat has more grain than he can possibly eat; but what does the plough ox have?". . (23) Chinese
