Ann and Michael,
I really enjoy listening to your show. I subscribe to many podcasts and occassionally I need to delete some because of a lack of time to listen. Yours is never deleted! My wish list keeps growing and I wonder how I’ll ever find the time to read all these books.
I loved Melissa’s discussion on paper. What a revelation! I never knew how complex an issue paper could be. Thanks for continuing to further my education about books and related fields. Keep up the good work.

Hi Patricia, I also am always eager to care after our sacred older trees and listen out for what people have to say on that matter. Consequently it is scary how even the mismanaging of forests of younger trees can damage ancient groves. Obviously, this wasn’t an appropriate venue for discussing the subject. I was satisfied, nevertheless, in hearing Melissa discuss their use of crops of younger trees. In fact, she mentioned that the forests were managed greenonomically, and I appreciated her mentioning that in spite of the lack of time.

I would like to learn someday, however, why paper manufacturers no longer use old clothes to make paper. Before the 1860′s, they used old clothes, not trees, to make paper. I assume that was possible in part because not much paper was being made back then as compared to now, especially after Ms. Rowling started drinking so much caffeine! But it seems to me that an opportunity is being wasted in discontinuing that practice. Perhaps we could someday bring our last year’s fashions to those Expresso Machines (instant book-printing machines) and use them for the paper that the machine prints on the books!

Helen, I’m honored.
I’m working on my categories, too. I know that one will be Biography, and another will be Science. Beyond that, I’m not sure yet.
Thank you so much for your lovely words….
