A good read

By Peter Vangioni

In an age of 42” flat-screen television sets, the internet and the 3D viewing experience, you still can't beat a good read. A screen or an e-book will just never be as relaxing as sitting back and enjoying a printed and bound novel, biography, some poetry – or even an art history monograph if you’re that way inclined. Holding a book in your hands, reading printed type, turning paper pages add up to a complete experience that just can't be replicated on a screen, no matter how hard technicians try (and there are no ads). So what are you waiting for? Stop reading this, log off the computer and go and read that book you've been meaning to get round to for the past several months.
