typical kronosposeidon. You know the channel is a joke right? Think about it, a video channel for books? Well here's my contribution. Don't think by starting this channel, Kronos, that I'll for 1 second believe that you can read. I know your kid reads the comments for you and pushes your fat, sausagesque fingers on the correct buttons to respond.

Thanks for posting this, fjnbk. I've been pretty busy, and I meant to write up something about my new channel tonight. However you beat me to it, so as Stuart Smalley always says: "And that's..okay." As long as the word is on the street that a "Books" channel now exists then that's the main thing.

As my rodent/toad colleague astutely pointed out: A VIDEO channel for BOOKS? Well let me explain why I did this:

- Ever read a great book, then when you when you heard it was being made into a movie you simply couldn't wait to see it? Or..

- Ever see a real cool movie, then wanted to read the book upon which it was based afterward? Or find out long after you saw a cool movie that it was based on a book?

- Ever watch a talk show where the guest is an interesting author talking about his or her latest book?

- Ever watch a show on the History Channel, The Learning Channel, BBC, PBS, etc. where they talk about the life of an author, or delve deeply into one of his or her works?

Well if you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then hopefully you understand why I created this channel. Now don't get me wrong; I still love videos and movies, but also I still appreciate the quiet, patient practice of reading. I simply wanted to create something that could tie together my appreciation of the visual arts and the literary arts. Hence the Books channel.

Don't be surprised if any of you find me necroposting the * Books channel to some of your videos. Gotta build a library, don't we?

kp is too dim to sift talk his own channel announcement, and so misses out on the inevitable star point for quality.

and since he's also too stingy to award it himself, i'll have to.

*quality new channel choice, for sure, y'all.

Just tried a * books invocation myself, but it doesn't seem to be working for me either. Will notify the SiftLords.

I may be dim, but not stingy. I'm simply out of power points right now. Plus I figured if I waited long enough some other dim schmuck would come along and do it for me.

hehe, and *books does work now.

mildly ironic n' iconoclastic that a playlist for viddies about books works her way in.....

that reminds me, why haven'nt some of you other power brokers made some playlists???

Is it simply that you have not one creative brain cell to rub against another?, or are ya holding out for when to spring the *goatcheese channel on us all......there have to be at least 5 folks who have the power but have yet to crated a channel??!!

Like raven hounded me to make a channel when I gave EIA away....I wasn't really thinking about doing one....but she had a way....and so , the wildwestshow......

So you lazy bastards and beootches, get yer channels added, to make this place more like you dig it..otherwise this romp'll just turn to shit like the the rest of yer real life endeavors you start, half-ass, fubar and never finish!

How do you know so much about me?

I only have one book post and Kronos already tagged it for me
This'll motivate me to submit some more book videos for sure.

Book videos. Book videos. Book videos? Ya, still sounds weird.
