my books

I have been collecting books  for the past twenty five years.Books are my darling.. so i dont tend to give them away to anyone.,but old books face  deadly enemies- the pages become brittle and they crumble.the dyes in printing and binding materials make the pages fade.Moreover the books become outdated.Information stored in them turn out to be wrong and misleading...with fast changing world everything seems to change everyday .Internet seem to be perfect source of correct information..When I ask my children to read them they simply laugh at me and teach me to surf the net. Paradoxically they turn  out to be right..... now am I to protect those old precious volumes  or just discard them????

  1. Way to go Muru ! Happy to see someone from our class take to the net so enthusiastically. Do visit www.galaxyweblinks.com. That is our site and would love your comments. Happy Blogging !!

    As to the point raised above - Net is a treasure trove of knowledge true but the thrill of reading a book is not there. I dont think you find books online. You can buy books online yes but you gotta read them !!
