Although, I must admit the Internet with its ability to deliver vast amounts of information has been one of the greatest advancements of the twentieth century (IMHO.) Being able to peruse a half dozen Foreign newspapers in a matter of a few hours is a tremendous time saver, and of course forums like this one are informative and have become their own communities in virtual space.
Still there is nothing like sitting in a comfortable chair, with book in hand and enjoying the experience with more than just your sight. Well, that's just my view on it,...and that with a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.
