Than to Amazon for fostering reading in America. A talk show host. With roughly 40 million loyal fans told them to go read Dickens, Faulkner, Garcia Marquez, and Tolstoy, and many of them actually did it. At least one academic historian credits her with democratizing reading. As for bookstores being "ineffici...

Sunday, June 17, 2012. I'll have a lobster and cod pizza with caviar on the side. A town that actually wants a Taco Bell. Is in pretty bad shape. Eat like it's the Neolithic.

However, it wasn't until two days later that the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence (and only after some editing that severely wounded the young author's ego.
