Over at Challies.com, there's a book post up that features some solid quotes from Al Mohler:
"When truly read, a book becomes a part of us. That is why we are afraid to part with even the physicality of it. The book becomes an aid to memory and a deposit of thought and reflection. Its very materiality testifies that we once held it in our hands as we passed the pages before our eyes."
Mohler definitely gets it.

I just Google Notebooked that quote. Mohler so gets it.
I just Google Notebooked that quote.
Maybe it's just my hyper-competitive nature and ten espresso's talking, but it sounds to me like Tim just threw down the techno-gauntlet. Well, I Google Notebooked, CoCommented, QuoteLockered, MemeTracked, and backed the quote up to my new iCortical implant. Top that ;)
Also, it's possible - tiny, tiny, very small chance - that I may have made some of those sites/services up...
Great quote. And that's what makes books dangerous... especially fiction.
"the techno-gauntlet"
Well, I've programmed my vintage 1998 "tickle-me-elmo" to recite the quotation in 12 different dialects. Wait, I've read too many words today, I'm not sure what i've just written. hmmm... (hangs head in shame)
These riffs on I just Google-notebooked that are really impressive. Have you guys thought about stand-up comedy? Of course, Tim gets some credit too.

Glancing at the walk-in closet that contains my "to be read" shelves, I have no idea what you are talking about.
