Bye Bye Books!

Sad but true. For some reason people do not want to buy real books. We would rather buy something off line and stare at a computer screen. A kindle or Ipad will never be able to replace a book 100% percent. Reading books is different...each book has a different smell, some have large print while others cram on the words...the feeling of accomplishment when you flip to your last page....all of that will be lost. We would rather have a lighter less dense file on our computers to read. Kindles and Ipads make every book look and feel the same. I world without books would be weird to me. However I feel probably in my life time no one will own "real" books. Newspapers and magazines are now being sent to your ipads daily, so its only a matter of time until the population catches on. I feel that there will always be some sort of books, some sort of religious text. I picture a time where kids dont even know what a bible looks like or why important documents like the Declaration of Independence is written on paper.  I feel books are very important.I know sometimes I complain about having to read them but i feel once I do I look at it differently than a movie, I question things more. I feel that reading books allows you to escape into a different place and use your imagination.  I feel that with our way of life now kids are loosing that ability because they are not challenged.





Today we burn books, not just with a match but when we turn them into movies. When Hollywood gets a hold of a movie they change it all around. We lose the personalty of the story and it seems like the overall goal is to make money and not do the book justice. There are so many examples where the movies are different than the books...Remember the Titans, Holes, Harry Potters, and I am Legend were all different than the book...I have only seen two movies that went right along with the book the first being The Blindside and the other was Miracle. I feel that we do these books an injustice when we make them into movies. I am eager to see what Jim Carey does to this up coming movie Mr Popper's Penguins because that was one of my favorite books growing up
