Obsolete

I am not ready to toss aside my books for all those familiar, vaguely arbitrary yet highly emotional reasons: for the feel, the smell, the covers, the page-turning pleasure. In a world where e-readers replace books I will also miss… knowing what subway readers are into. How else will we be able to make snap judgments about strangers? We’ll be forced to ask them what they are reading. We’ll be forced to engage.
