During the first week of College Comp. II, I may have mentioned my love of reading. For me, the latest medical thriller, murder mystery, or well-known classic takes precedence over any television show or movie that a theatre has to offer. Wherever I go I take along my latest thriller or classic tale to enjoy as I wait in long lines at the doctor’s office or perhaps at the DMV. As an adult, one of the first purchases I made for my very first apartment was a bookcase. By then I had accumulated so many books that I actually needed several to hold them. Every night since I first learned to read, my favorite thing to do has been to curl up with a good book and read myself to sleep. Unfortunately the cost of a hardcover book has skyrocketed along with every other consumer good you can think of. A year or two ago when the Nook and the Kindle electronic book readers came on the scene, I said that I could barely wait to get my hands on one. The lightweight portability of an E-Reader excited me almost as much as the fact that it was simply a new toy in the form of my number one pastime. Also, the average cost of an electronic book is approximately one third of the cost of a regular book. With all of these pluses in mind, I was just about ready to launch myself into the new world of electronic reading. I could just see myself, totally engrossed in book after book purchased at considerably discounted prices. But then I realized that I had doubts; could I curl up with a Kindle the way I do with a “real” book? Could I nestle with a Nook while all snug in my bed? For me the answer is no. It just wouldn’t be the same. I guess I’m just old-school, you know?
