Rebecca Thorman My friend Nisha just posted on a study that found that children who grew up in a house with 500+ books stay in school three years longer than kids who grew up in homes with fewer books. (http://ow.ly/1SFEL) Like Nisha, this was certainly true in my case. I was a book worm (I even won an award for reading the most books in kindergarten and was totally down with the Pizza Hut Book It! program) :) and still love to read to this day. What about you?

Jonathan van de Veen I'm thinking about writing a book, but it feels akward to write in a tool like ms word. I think i might get distracted by stuff like layout and poor performance as there is more content. Is there a more specialized tool any of you can recommend.

You can re-order sections and it pulls your footnotes and pic references with it automatically. I'll check with him to confirm the name.

It helps me look for new books when I can't think of anything in particular, and it helps me manage my lists (To-read, Read, To-finish, etc.) Also, you can read great reviews from fellow readers, but I guess that feature is on most online bookclubs.
