Indie Routine: 'I Like to See the Book Before I Buy It'
"I like to see the book before I buy it. My husband does
not like going to bookstores with me, so you might see him sitting outside,
because he says that's the one place I tend to get lost in and forget I have
a deadline. But I want the kids to feel that way, so I like taking them to
bookstores with me. I think we've lost that love of the books themselves;
it's almost, if you're on a Kindle or a Nook or whatever, it's a little bit
of a separation. So we take them into a bookstore like BookCourt
and walk around. And they'll walk out with at least one or two books."
--Carmen
Fariña, chancellor of the New York City Education Department, in a recent
"Sunday Routine" interview with the New York Times.
