I pledge to read the printed word.


The news of Borders bookshop in America going under quietly upset me a little. I know it's easy to buy a book on line but I for one will miss the experience of going into a bookstore and loitering around the store until I find something that interests me... I am sorry reading a novel on your iphone just isn't the same. I love the feeling of the book in my hands, especially a second hand book. Do you remember that line from You've Got Mail where Meg Ryan says "what you read becomes part of your identity of who you are".
I will pledge to read the printed word.
