Which reader are you?
I've always been an advocate for the written, well physically published in a library-binded book, kind of person. This Christmas, I got a Kindle and I can't believe how quickly I have adapted to reading via computer screen. I've always been caught between loving tradition, and secretly desiring the new. Now, with technology as mainstream as it is, in so many aspects of my life, I am having to take a step back and gain perspective. I am a librarian, without a job, but I have the love of reading that any librarian has, and I've come to terms with . . . as long as we're reading, I guess I don't care the format. It's like a church service - some prefer drums and hands in the air while others move more toward quiet, liturgical chants and traditional hymns. The Holy Spirit is present at both. And whether I'm bending back a book in my bed, or clicking on a light on my kindle -- I'm still reading, and isn't that the point.
