Do we still value Books??

now manga for the DS i would like to see that.

 

You can get manga for the DS but if you're gonna read a novel or something do it the "old fashioned way"!! I'm 14 & I love books, they exercise your mind (excluding picture books & poems with a pic beside them). I was 7 when I first read Harry Potter! At that age, that type of book should have been to hard! (although it took me 3 1/2 years to pronounce Mcgonagall) Those going into second level school in my area are babies when it comes to english! BABIES!!!

 

yes

 

I did the same thing, except I think I was 7 and got bored about 3/4 of the way through the first book (just before they're attacked by the lake monster outside Moria) and skipped ahead to the second book. Boy was I surprised when they said ******* had died! I had to go back and finish reading!

 

I started reading books when I was around 8 or 9 and Started reading in English after my first English lesson at school.
I even didn't learn for my English exam until the last day before and I aced it anyway

 

I can never understand why some of my classmates are having a hard time learning and using English properly. :s

-I still read books and mangas ;D

 

I still pick up a book every now and then but it takes me forever to get through them, plus I am pretty picky with what I read, about the only books I actually stick with these days are Terry Pratchett novels.

 

I'm a bookworm! Although I spend a lot of time on my computer and on my DS, I still read a lot of books, especially when I'm on holiday, I sometimes read one book a day -which makes my partner crazy lol. I do think that a lot of people have stopped reading because more or less everything is available on the net or in audio form, and I think it's a shame, because reading from a book is very different from reading something online.
Even for uni work, I like to get my research done out of books better than on the net, but then my degree's a bit weird so I can't find everything on the internet, most of it I find in old books...
Anyways, library anytime for me!

 

Yeah, books are majorly devalued now. That said, I like both. I still read books a lot, but I do wish that I could have some of my books on my DS to read when I'm on the go.

 

books became obsolete ever since the interenet came out.

Books are important but in the future there could be not much use for them

 

.pdf files ftw!

 

Sometimes I think the whole future vision of Idiocracy isn't too far behind. Hardly anyone reads anymore. I'm just glad I had a great cultural education. Couldn't live without books, I know I'll always read to my kids and encourage them to read.

 

i like books with pictures

 

I read novels. My favourite is the Power of Five by Anthony Horwitz.

 

If I could find this series in my library, I'd read more of. Only got through the 3rd book, loved the series though.

 

I love books but ever since my father introduced me to the practicality of e-books, I have never bought a single paperback book since. They're just so versatile.

The only problem I have with e-books is that if I read them on a computer screen for so long, my vision gets blurred.

 

visual novels should have more text.

 

I love books. Forget tripe fiction, go buy a secondhand Vonnegut and smell the last reader. Or go buy the Nag Hammadi and say goodbye to religion. To flick through the visceral contents of a good book, destroys e-books(you cannot flick those e-pages)

 

No?
