My prediction for 2012 is that the New York Times will report (again) that independent bookstores are on the rise and that sales are up. The Times will also report that e-books have surpassed hardcover sales by 100 percent. Somehow these two points will not seem incongruous to people.

I also predict that the city will continue to cut funding for homeless people who are HIV positive. Our organization will continue to advocate on their behalf.
