[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I was surprised to go to Costco today, after many years, and not see a single book. I was so excited to see the book section. That caught me off guard, and frankly, made me worry about trends. [/b] I read a lot, usually 50 books a year, though this year I'll probably only hit 40-42 due to watching more TV. [/quote] [b]I hope that is just due to the rise in using Kindles.[/b] But that’s probably too pollyannaish.[/quote] I have an MFA in creative writing and have always felt great affection towards my actual physical books and the bookshelves they are on. It was like once I read a book, it was a friend, and I didn't want to let it go. But I've finally come around -- they really are just collecting dust. I'm getting a Kindle. [/quote]
