    While a fascinating and inspiring insight into the thoughts and habits of the writers, I must confess to one disappointment. What the hell is Robert Caro doing away from his desk, and not continuing his writing the fourth volume of his "Years of Lyndon Johnson"! While I wait patiently, I don't want to see Mr Caro away from his desk in future until I have Volume Four in my hands.

    Susan Orlean mentions an alalogy of sailing ships and horses no longer needed for transportation so only the rich indulge in their pleasures. Books are not transportation. Consider instead the analogy that dogs are no longer kept for the work they perform but as loved members of the household. Books will remain fond members of my household and most people that I know.

    For me the great question is the mystery of daily life.
