I love books. Few feelings rival turning the page of a fantastic novel. As a result of my adoration for the written word, I have come to own many...dozens...maybe hundreds. I am proud of my collection that includes Murakami, Twain, Wells, Sexton among others and am comforted by the knowledge of their existence; regardless of my day I can come home and open MY book with MY notes scribbled in the margins. With new technological introductions such as the kindle and Ipad I'm concerned about the future of tangible books. It is true, I am beginning to feel guilty about the tree cemetery developing in my book case and have become far choosier about which books I purchase for this reason. But I find it hard to believe that nestling into bed with a computer screen will bring the same enjoyment as a REAL page turner. Am I wrong? Am I being closed minded about things I don't understand? If someday when we all switch over to downloaded stories will all our books be dumped? Someday will novels be considered outdated? I'm curious and a little frightful.
