I've got the first Kushiel book in my pile of "to read." I may have to move it up a few books. I'm still so surprised by how few people really read anymore. I easily read six days out of seven. I can't imagine NOT reading books. I worry what will lose if the trend continues. For me, books often provide the spark for new ideas. The tangibility of books is also reassuring in a way that the Internet will never be. For all the information available online, it's difficult at times to feel it's real. Perhaps I'm showing my age, but I have difficulty imagining a time where everything we read will be on a screen. For me, I'll always love my books.
