Another thought following the past two posts. Why books?
I was in Amsterdam two years ago, riding the tram across town, and there were passengers in large numbers reading books. The same was true in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, etc. Not when I take the bus or train here in the States. Why are books still so popular over there, while not so much here?
I may explore that in more detail when I travel over there next (not sure when).
But as for now, I know that I like my books. I like reading them. I like bookstores and libraries. And that’s not going to change.
