And I'm not speechless because I'm reading. These figures are frightening, but I suppose the internet has taken away a good percentage of book readership as has television. People read not only for entertainment but for information and so much of that is spoon fed to us by various opinionated suppliers that we are pretty much fed by an information 'drip' 24/7 and so feel, well, informed. But the hunger to hold that finely bound weight of printed paper between my hands and to think of the delights it holds within will never leave me. Thank you Mr. Guttenberg.
