books

I was on an airplane earlier this month, and I noticed one other woman holding a hard copy of a book besides me. The rest of the passengers were reading on Kindles or other e-readers.

This is the end, my only friend -- the end of any prayer that the surviving members of the Doors will ever be able to bury the hatchet and make music together again.

Today's reading experience is nothing like the literal "page-turners" of yesteryear. But even with the e-Book, the Kindle and the iPad at our fingertips, we can still spot a wacky romance novel cover from a mile off.

Kudos going out to Zavalla High School students who celebrated "Banned Books Week" by turning nonsense into freedom of speech, and electing to enforce their right to read whatever they want.
