What are you reading now?

[BettyO]

Currently, I'm re-reading Baltimore in the Civil War by Dan Toomey...

BUT - I must say that I'm with you, Bill! Although I'm somewhat of a geek and I love ALL things electronic and digital, including eBooks, there is just SOMETHING about the feel, look and even yes, the smell, (especially of an old leather bound book!) of a REAL book that I love! I love the eBooks and my NookColor - but I love my hardback and paperback books (of which I have literally hundreds) even more.

What scares me is the fact that fewer and fewer kids now visit libraries - from elementary to college age, will these kids come to appreciate books as we know them and utilize them or simply resort to using digital media? In college, I noticed that a great many kids seem to feel that the internet holds the key to all research. Granted, many of these kids didn't have good grades either. A lot of them do NOT know what a primary source is and do not even know how to utilize a library or study aids! Sad....
