I love stories. It doesnt matter the mediumfilm, video games, print, or oral storytellingI love it all. And Im not alone. The entertainment industry puts out billions upon billions of copies of books, movies, and games every year. We eat it up. Some of us like to escape to new worlds and new situations, some of us want deeper insights into the minds of others, some of us want to learn about the earth and its people, and some want all of this and more. And while new media like movies and video games are wonderful, sometimes you just cant beat the written word. Written stories have been around for thousands of years, and theyre not going away any time soon. With new technology making e-books and audio books widely available like never before, no one could ever run out of stories to read. But no matter how wonderful new technology gets, sometimes you just cant beat a good, old-fashioned book.
Some people like to say that books are dead and outdated, that Kindles and iPads have rendered them obsoletedont listen to those people! If they like e-books best, thats great for them. But if you still love your books in print form, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
One of my favorite things to do is go out and browse used book stores for hidden treasures. I have several series of books that Im trying to complete, to find just the right format and edition of the missing books to make my set complete. I dont always find what Im looking for in used book stores, but I usually find something I love, anyway.
