Playing with Hard Times, I suddenly discover that it has reached out and glued itself to me. Captures (and destroys) all keystrokes, so as I flip through browser windows with Cmd-`, I get stuck there. Can’t even close the window with Cmd-W.

This would be technical and contextual gibberish, except that it’s somehow not as booklike, is it? It’s well-set, and nicely designed, and consistent and pleasing. But insofar as it’s booklike, it’s glued itself to my hands secretly as I pull it down from the shelf.

But I like the content quite a bit.

I wonder if a book that changes is no longer a book. And I don’t feel that’s bad at all.
