Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Bookless Library

[Barbara Karp <basyak10@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I wholeheartedly agree!  There is definitely something pleasurable about curling up 
in bed or on a recliner with a book that is missing with an ipod or computer.  Even 
though some people think I'm old-fashioned, there are those who find re-reading and 
highlighting passages much easier with books.  (On a lighter note, I once read a 
quote by baseball player Bernie Williams: Books had instant replay long before 
televised sports.)
 
“. . .we don’t remember things half as well as books do.  But for them we probably 
wouldn’t know anything for very long.  It would all be forgotten. . .”  (Cornelia 
Funke, Inkheart)
