Yep; I have a friend who tells me about any good new books she's read, and she's usually on the money about them, but other than her, I only find out about books by walking into B&N and searching through the "new arrivals." I don't read much modern fiction, but I do find some modern non-fiction things I like now and then.
It also gives me a chance to browse the women. I can judge a woman pretty quick sometimes by what she reads. And if you see one reading one of your favorite books, it's a good conversation starter. But if a girl on the train has an e-reader--forget about it! How am I supposed to know what the heck she's reading on that thing? Whatever their strengths, e-readers are conversation killers!
