The movie was pretty darn good too--a rare case of a great book surviving the translation to film!<br /><br />My feelings about e-books are still messy and unresolved. As a computer geek, I think the technological aspect of them is cool, but as a former English major with a big library of paper books, I feel like I'll always want to possess a tangible copy of anything I really enjoy. And there's something far less peaceful about the process of reading on any electrical device vs. paper.<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out, especially once the Kindles etc. drop to around $99, which can't be far off.Derek Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635471883205219665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781773772760126873.post-87311811056391873142010-06-26T21:12:23.664-04:002010-06-26T21:12:23.664-04:00I had forgotten about the Accidental Tourist and A...I had forgotten about the Accidental Tourist and Anne Tyler, I really loved reading it. I'm going to have to discover the local library.<br /><br />So far, I have resisted the e-reader, but I admit to being incredibly jealous when Joe whips out his phone to read. His carry-on is lighter and when he's finished he can just download another cheap read.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868673314903949354noreply@blogger.com
