I feel sorry for those who do see paper books as so obsolete that they compare them to tablets carved in stone and cave paintings. It makes me wonder how many tablets carved in stone have these people read this year.
This poll was created by a dinosaur, so please be more sensitive to an animal who belongs to an extinct species. I just do not see what is so ridiculous when I want to ask a question about printed books.
To me, reading an e-book gives a quite different experience than reading a printed book, so I naively supposed that book readers would be tolerant enough to understand that I specified my question to printed books. Next time if I open a poll Have you read a book in a foreign language?, will you insist that "oh, but books in my language are books, too, why cannot I count them?"
I agree with you, printed books are a much different experience than electronic. Same information, but different feeling.
I don't know how many books I've finished this year. I read a lot of non-fiction and reference books that don't always get read from beginning to end. I'm often in the middle of 5 or so books at a time.
I'm sorry if what I wrote offended you. It wasn't the intention. I was just teasing VioletTrees. Looking at my comment again, I can see how it might look like my words were either directed at you or were about you, but they honestly weren't.
I was curious about the distinction you made and I now see you've answered that too. I certainly wasn't teasing you about it, though. I hadn't even noticed your comment when I made mine. :)
Have you read at least one book this year?
