Fiction Reading on the Increase

An interesting bit in the New York Times today belies this silly rumor that's been going around about books, or at least reading, being dead. I've said it and I'll keep saying it: I don't think there's any gee-whiz technology out there that can trump the power of the story! Who knows, I may prove to look like a Pollyanna someday, but for now, that's my thesis, and I'm stickin' to it. -Stefene Russell
