Good Reads
There's nothing better
than spending a cool winter evening with a great book. Here's a list of some books
I've read recently that you might enjoy. They're all available from Amazon.com,
and I've made it easy for you to order. All you need to do is click on the book
title. (Isn't it great that we never have to leave home in order to indulge in
one of our favorite hobbies?)

The Future of Publishing
Here's an experpt from my occasional column in the Colorado Romance Writers' newsletter,
Romancing The Rockies, about the future of books and publishing: Will books as
we know them disappear?
If you've spent any time with me, you know that I tremble with fear any time I
think about traditional books going the way of our IBM Selectric typewriters and
carbon paper. (Okay, I've got to admit it, I don't miss the messy carbon and figuring
out how to correct that second page and realign the paper, even if I do sometimes
miss my big clunky typewriter.)
In the June 19, 2000 edition of TIME Magazine, there's a short article by Stephen
King, the first really big name author to wade into electronic publishing. According
to King, he can't imagine book lovers giving up their books, nor is he willing
to give up his own books.
The same edition of TIME Magazine has a fascinating article titled, "Will We Still
Turn Pages?" The article suggests that we might soon have books with digital pages,
complete with digital ink. We could load our e-books onto the digital pages and
still read a book in the traditional way-by turning the page. One day we may have
several digital books with a varying number of pages for different length books.
One advantage of digital books might be that we could also play a movie or music
videos on these same pages.
Long live technology-as long as you don't take away my books!
