    1. Wow, that seems like such a pain-in-the-butt format for reading a book….

    2. Having books by Bill Bradley and Barak Obama doesn’t really qualify the stack for an “extreme liberal” tilt. It just qualifies it for having a couple of books by middle-of-the-road Democrats.

    3. Well parsed!

    A little insight on the Eragon selection.

    According to the Fox website Eragon is the #1 movie in the world. Not sure how that is calculated but if it is even remotely true, it’s a level of popularity rare in the book world. Also Eragon, the film, is currently in release on Sony’s slightly popular hi-def Blu-ray Disc format (a format I highly recommend)- so a little cross promotion couldn’t hurt.
