It's amazing when you hear stories about how precious books were in the past. People would save up, or even walk all day just to be able to read a book -- any book! Now we have more than the richest men of a century or two ago, and even a whole library on Gutenberg.org of the best books for free. In much or most of the world, any book on just about any topic you could want can be had for less than a day's wages. And yet very few of us love to read these days! Until recently, I went for many years without reading much unless it was for researching or for work. Now that I'm reading more again, it's such a joy. And with my Treo and ebooks, I can read whenever I have a few moments. I almost look forward to waiting rooms now!
