Despairing about the future of print media?
Dave Eggers, acclaimed author and McSweeney's founder, will be shoulder to cry on.
And he just might save the newspaper biz along the way.
"I actually have established an e-mail address, deggers@826national.org--if you want to take it down--if you are ever feeling down, if you are ever despairing, if you ever think publishing is dying or print is dying or books are dying or newspapers are dying (the next issue of McSweeney's will be a newspaper--we're going to prove that it can make it. It comes out in September). If you ever have any doubt, e-mail me, and I will buck you up and prove to you that you're wrong."

Everyone who is a reader will carry on reading simple as that.Nothing like a good book to take to bed and devour in the wee small hours.Woke up loads of times with the book I took to bed lying right beside me like a true friend.
