Thanks, Paul. I guess I should have noted that I'm @csteib. Duh.

Having received correspondence from Paul Coehlo, which I found hard to believe, I'm inclined to think that he has interns handling his web life and blog, though perhaps not his Tweats.

Frankly, I'd rather just read their books. Thanks for the heads up, though.

In an age when communication is so fragmented, and the opportunity to actually hear an author's reading or see him/her in person is so rare, I'll take what I can get. On Coehlo's blog, he does occasional video entries -- which you have to admit are not forged by an intern. So I think it's great that in the digital age, we have more means to access the lives of writers whose work we enjoy (and you're still allowed to read their books, too).
