In regards to books, reading, the publishing industry, etc… What are you most grateful for? Why? Have you ever done anything to tangibly show your appreciation?

All I do is, read! And review, discuss. Not much else! Maybe I should send out letters to the publishing houses, showing my appreciation. Should I? I am not sure! What do you say?!
