Cool topic. I used to read late under the covers with a flashlight. I suppose kids now still can, but probably only need e-reader or e-notepad.

Rabbi Ilene, thank you for the memory. I too was one who read all the time. Actually we came from a home of readers, one of my sister could not wash dishes or cook without reading, sure there were some burned meals as well as under-washed dishes,. I would read under the covers late at night with a flash light knowing that I had to get up early for school the next morning with bags under my eyes…it did not matter. The love to read I think is what most kids are missing today. So if notebooks like Kindles, Sony etc. will bring back that love I say okay. But I still love the touch, smell and look of the real thing. Augie Hicks

Hi Ilene,
I am with you completely on e-readers. (Mine is a NOOK.) A great convenience at times, but 98% of the time I’ll still be holding a print book. (Currently Margaret Maron’s THREE DAY TOWN. As to Mary Ellen’s question to you — yes I do re-read books and that’s why my shelves are overflowing. Recently I’ve been up to my pipical in work, with a new book in the offing plus preparing for book events plus online publicity so my big gripe as an author is: NOT. ENOUGH. TIME. TO. READ!!! However I would sure grab a next book in your series ASAP.

Not too often, which is why I really should clear out some of the bookcases before the next “gently read” book sale at the library.

Ilene, do you ever re-read the books you have at home?

I agree that it’s about reading, it’s about story–but I have to say, I really love the smell, look, weight, and feel of a book I also love the whole bookstore experience. For me they are a part of that heaven you describe. I’m glad for the many readers who find their joy with e readers as well, though. The more people reading, the better, right?

I loved #8. Good to know when goals are unrealistic. But, isn’t life all about breaking our resolutions to get to the fun stuff? And, there’s always a chance you’ll catch up on reading, watching DVD’s and clearing your TiVo. A remote chance, but who knows?

OMG! It’s like you understand my mind! You seem to know so much about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, besides that, this is great blog. A outstanding read. I’l

Comment on Self-Publish or Perish? by Stephen Brayton

I remembe the words of Jeffrey Deaver at the last conference i attended. This is a business. You create a product. You have to create a prodcut people want. if you’re writing for yourself, write a journal, publish a self promoting blog. If your’e writing for others, you have to give them what they want. Businesses are in the business of making a profit. If you don’t make a profit, you go out of business. Think about what you want, what you’re giving, and it still comes down to what is best for you.
