What are you reading?

I am.

 I know there is a movement towards "other" venues of reading, but I just can't seem to get away from holding the novel in my own two hands....and get this, I still manually turn pages, highlighting key passages as I go.

Are you like me?  Or, are you more like the new generation of readers?

Not only are e-readers making a great stride with today's readers, but we may now have to redefine what we mean when we say we are readers? The conversation might go:

Me: "I love to read"

Them:  "What do you read?"

Me:  "Fiction"

Them:  "No, I meant do you read books, blogs, or just random internet sites?"

The big debate rages....is internet browsing, considered reading?  Real Reading that is.  Check out the latest info on this debate

The young are spending hours reading the internet, but are they really reading?

What do you think?

 

 

Whatever your pleasure is....Keep on Reading!
