But in the last few decades, most of the pivotal advances in publishing have been digital, with the evolution of e-books and digital audio.

“While we weren’t watching, a next generation threat to human freedom materialized right in front of our noses,” writes James Williams in Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy. “We didn’t notice it because it came in forms that were already familiar to us. It came bearing gifts of information, historically a scarce and valuable resource, but delivered them in such abundance, and with such velocity, that these gifts became a mountain of burdens.”

In real life they built a doghouse, but in the book, the doghouse ends up too small for even their pups — Jonathan’s furry kids, Gracie and Stewie, served as models — so they end up converting it into a birdhouse.

But guess what? He can’t. Neither can you, and neither can I. Moby-Dick is a great book, one worth wrestling with and finally finishing, even if its full depths will never be completely explored.

Connolly, who booked bands at the former venue d.c. space, created the black sheep logo on the cover of Minor Threat’s 1983 album “Out of Step,” released on Dischord.

Happy New Year from Kathie and Diana. We look forward to being your “favorite” librarians in 2019!

There is also the satisfaction that comes from creating something that could, in theory, inspire people and help them cook for years to come. “We designed a piece of art, a piece of history,” says Fischer, who’s working to secure a deal for a second cookbook. “I’ve chosen three activities that are completely not profitable: farming, writing, and trying to be a restaurateur. For me, nothing is financially driven in my life.”

The impact of politics, however, is hard to avoid. Although Najmieh has been back to Iran once since the revolution—to research her latest book—Mohammad has never returned, as travel is harder to get approved, and, even if it is, Iranian-Americans are viewed with significant suspicion. That suspicion exists in the U.S. as well, where anti-immigrant rhetoric abounds. But Mohammad and Najmieh—both American citizens—didn’t doubt their decision to move here in the 1980s, and still do not regret it.

Now…I realize directly supporting an author in the best way possible may not always be your priority as a reader, and that’s fine of course. But don’t carry any hopeful notions that buying ebooks leaves nothing but profit and money for the authors. The best way to support an author is to purchase their new release as a pre-order or on opening day in hardcover. Those numbers are the ones that publishers care about, and those are the numbers that impact the author’s future.

What Oliva didn’t know was that her friends planned to compile 50 of her recipes and have them published in a cookbook, “From the Kitchen of Gloria Oliva.”

But the best thing about this book is how it can feel so familiar — it captures the way that vibrant trinkets and souvenirs we buy while traveling lose their magic when we take them home, or the way we pack up exercise bands before we leave while lying to ourselves that we’ll work out while on vacation this time.
