I have a library at home or you can call it the reading room where all my books since little girl are. I was an avid reader since early age. I have juvenile complete collections and some I bought or were offered to me throughout my life.
But guess what, internet took away my reading pleasure, I mean I still love to read but, internet takes all my free time away and I end up not reading.
I confess that in the last three years (since I got more active online) I have not read a single book. I get lost among all those webinars, free reports, blueprints and textbooks. I find all the information I need online but I miss reading a good romance, a good thriller. I find books much more appealing than movies and I used to like to read the book and then watch the movie, but right now, I have no time.
I wish my kids will have the same pleasure in reading like I have but I think computers, television and video games are taking that away from them. How bother reading a book when all the information they seek is online? That’s our kid’s mentality nowadays.
What is your opinion?
