What's you topic pleasure? Fiction? Mystery? Espionage? Spy verses spy? History? Facts and figures? Books offer us a world by ourself, new information or a collection of characters in places far far away. There's so much available!
Mystery action fiction is my preference. After flooding my mind at work with technical details, I need something just the opposite to consume my mental musings.

Kids have homework assignments to do requiring research.
Audio books are nice to take in when you just don't feel like keeping your tired eyes open. Just load the digital book, CD and place the straw firmly between the lips and listen. No pages to turn.
Today, we have new options in the digital arena. Digital books are available for an eBook Reader, Tablet computer, even a cell phone.

You might be tied to paper books. That's ok. Don't feel bad when you kids look at you funny and say odd things about antiquity. You are not alone and the entire world hasn't abandoned you. It's still ok to be seen reading paper books. Still, I do invite you to branch out and try an eBook Reader. Barrow one from a friend. Ask them to give you a tour on it. You might just like it.

Even one of my sons, the modern video gamer, says, "Dad, I still like the feel of paper, the sound of a turning page, the ability to dog-ear a page or two when I want. So, don't push me digital that way."

- What people want.
- What book makers produce.
