My older kids come over to borrow books...which reminds me...my son took my new Terry Prachett before I got a chance to read it!!!<BR/><BR/>My daughter is right now going through Terry Goodkind's saga and she pre-ordered the new one for me, which will end up on my shelf. She's also read a lot of the romance and paranormals on my shelf too.<BR/><BR/>While I travel on the train to work and back, I see many people with a book in their hand. Young and old, and this inpsires me. Is it because I live in Europe, are the Europeans more interested in reading? I recently saw a Kenyon in German in the shops...she's getting popular here too.<BR/><BR/>Hugs<BR/>ValerieValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393000714325991161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432389790871421538.post-2316262124685632072007-10-08T11:15:00.000-05:002007-10-08T11:15:00.000-05:00I could not live without books.

I am finding myself encouraging my sons to read. I know that if I keep it up he will continue on. I myself am a bigggg reader, I was born with a book in hand. It seems to be catching on...with my babies.<BR/><BR/> I pray that the written word doesn't die out. Reading PDF is ok but I love paper, heck even if they printed it on recycled I would love it.<BR/><BR/>I think if the tech-generation don't regress a little we are gonna lose a century of learning, and free thinkers.<BR/><BR/>Think about this...take away the cells, the computers, and all that technological crap (xnay on the computer I typing on, LOL) and all those teens would have to learn to communicate, heck even adults. Then we might have the next Plato, Shakespeare, we as a generation are turning reading into a lost art, period.<BR/><BR/>Rosierosazamothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909141601108207763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432389790871421538.post-78656621446822975772007-10-07T22:40:00.000-05:002007-10-07T22:40:00.000-05:00Does he make the woo woo sounds when playing with ...Does he make the woo woo sounds when playing with his light sabers??Morgan O'Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439830663769289835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432389790871421538.post-23952309361842879622007-10-07T22:14:00.000-05:002007-10-07T22:14:00.000-05:00I need one that really works.

I read to Teen Mean every night when she was a child. She can still remember me doing the Elmo voice and though she'd kill me for saying this, she's made me do it recently. *snickers*<BR/><BR/>I wonder what sort of world it'll be without books, or more importantly without readers. I hope I'm not here to see it happen. Levar Burton, have you gone over the Reading Rainbow? Come back!<BR/><BR/>Note to JMo aka Jethro the Redneck Jedi, you already have two light sabers, how many more do you need?Jenna Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153417576470472639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432389790871421538.post-18902355940263689802007-10-07T21:29:00.000-05:002007-10-07T21:29:00.000-05:00I know what you mean Tess.

I find him on the computer constantly reading different things, mostly about video games...LOL...but at least reading. Maybe it's a sign of what is in store for online publishing. If an online publisher opened for kids of the "video generation" maybe...just maybe they would read online. I'm all for that!

I love to read and write and I hope that it never comes to the point where books are gone.<BR/><BR/>It's sad that a lot of people avoid books and spend their time on things that waste it...Savannah Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969287794654622274noreply@blogger.com
