Booklist

If you click on the video link you will find a little video that is currently on top

called "The Last Bookstore"  It will take you about 20 minutes to watch and it is worth the time.  It is well done and it speaks to an interesting idea.  All books are now electronic or computer interactive.  A little boy has to quit "reading" because of a "glitch" and discovers the only bookstore left.  He does not know what books are. There are no more books, no libraries, etc. This will never happen.  I have a Kindle and I love the convenience of being able to carry a lot of books with me on a little screen.  I also continue to purchase books and nothing will ever replace that.

It is true that there are fewer bookstores and more and more books are being sold by Amazon and other large retailers.  But they are selling books and some of us prefer them.  My reading tastes are eclectic.  I read a little of everything.  Some of my friends seem to read just one type of book but I range from fact to fiction. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
