The Pusher Man


The Pusher Man doesn't walk down my street. 

Doesn't need to.

He's already in my house, on my computer with tempting book offers. I can buy them hardbound or paperback. New or used. I can get them on audio or on my Kindle. If I get them on my Kindle, they are here in seconds.

Did you hear that? 

Seconds!

And some of the stuff he even gives away.

Because he knows I'll be back.

The Pusher Man whispers, "All you have to do is click."

"How many times?"

"Once will do."

Click.

They didn't come up with the word bibliophile for nothing. Think about it. At least we're not smoking. E.
