I got a nice e-mail this week. Glenn at the Tin­ley Park Pub­lic Library con­tacted me and asked me if they could use a quote by me about libraries on their Web site. It’s part of a reg­u­lar quotes fea­ture the library does.

Of course, I said yes. You can see the quote here (it’s on the right-hand side of the page). Or here’s what I said, which comes from my bio here on my Web site:

“Most folks think peni­cillin, indoor plumb­ing, and the Inter­net are the world’s best inven­tions. Not me. The great­est thing ever cre­ated was a library. Indoor plumb­ing is a close sec­ond, though.”

You know you’ve made it as an author when peo­ple start quot­ing you. Okay, not really, but I still think it’s cool.
