A real book in my hands

September 4, 2008

I have been getting up at 5 am every morning to read chapters of Fields of Play by Richardson which I mentioned here.

After two years of reading journal articles in PDF form printed on my printer or ebooks on my screen, it is satisfying to have a real book in my hands. I don’t know how I would have survived in the Masters program without digital texts but it really isn’t the same as physically searching the library and holding a new, fresh smelling book or a tattered, well read volume.

As far as the fascinating structure of the book, the engaging style and the relevant content go, I will write later. I will also relate to the process I went through with my thesis which already is clicking into place.

I’m off to a meeting.
