On books, and the death of print
For years I’ve proudly declared myself a print enthusiast, the kind of person who cringes when hearing the phrase “print is dead,” and yet I have a perhaps morbid (ahem) fascination with the e-book reader debate. In particular, I find it curious how many New York Times writers publish nervous pieces about their worry over …
