I'm not sure what my fascination is with books. There's something about having stuff bound together that makes it more… tangible, more real, more…. I don't know.

From what I understand, it's not like we're part of an infomercial."And do you know what else it can do?" (with the crowd responding) "What else can it do?!". Unless there is some sort of prior agreement to respond as an audience member, do the rest of us a favor, and shut it.
