Books Con Pt. 2


            It’s pretty hard to find a recent article about books. Thankfully, I was able to find one that was within a few years relevancy. It concerned the question of whether or not books were a “dying breed” thanks to television, internet and other electronic media. The article itself held mixed messages, some hopeful, some bleak. “The truth is, it's hard to know,” says John Y. Cole, director of the Library of Congress' Center for the Book. “The question of who's reading, and what they're reading, is still a puzzle.”[1]
