The Printed Word: A Timeless Tradition
For centuries, the printed book has been the primary medium for preserving and sharing literature. The tactile experience of holding a physical book, turning the pages, and immersing oneself in the printed words has been cherished by generations. The tangible nature of books adds a unique dimension to the reading experience, fostering a sense of connection and nostalgia.
The Rise of Digital Reading
The advent of digital technology has revolutionized the way we consume information, including literature.
E-readers, tablets, and smartphones have become ubiquitous, offering convenient access to a vast library of books. Digital reading platforms have made it easier than ever to discover new titles, purchase books, and read on the go.
The Benefits of Digital Reading
Portability: Digital devices allow readers to carry entire libraries in their pockets, making it easy to enjoy books anytime, anywhere. 1. E-Books vs Printed Books - Uncover the Best Choice for You - OrCamwww.orcam.com
Accessibility: E-readers often offer features like adjustable font sizes and text-to-speech capabilities, making reading more accessible to individuals with visual impairments or learning disabilities. 2.

Search and Annotation: Digital books often include search functions, allowing readers to quickly find specific passages or information. Additionally, many e-readers enable users to highlight text, take notes, and create bookmarks.
Despite the rise of digital reading, classic books continue to hold a special place in the hearts of many readers. The enduring appeal of classics lies in their timeless themes, complex characters, and literary artistry. These books offer a window into different historical periods, cultural contexts, and human experiences.
In A Google Search for Must-Read Classics for 60+ Women (Notice, I'm using technology to demonstrate the list that it provided. ) I do, need to tell you that I remember when I use to go to the library and looking through the card catalog for research and the memory doesn't seem that long ago. Some of my younger children would emphatically quip, "Oh, that's old school, Mom!"
I'm excited to share my thoughts on classic literature and modern novels with you and Maureen. While I've enjoyed reading classics, I also have a diverse range of interests. Let's remember that everyone has their own unique preferences, we may all fold our bathroom towels differently and that's okay. It's important to be respectful of others' tastes and avoid making personal judgments about their choices. Let's foster a kind and considerate discussion where we can appreciate and learn from each other's perspectives. (Note: I've come to grips with my husband, Rex not folding the bathroom towels in thirds so it fits on the shelf comfortably. (teeheehee) But the Truth is, I love sharing ideas, chores, and many other attributes in life and I'm just thankful he assists with chores!) LOL
