E-books bring ease but lose familiar thrill

I don't care what anybody says; when I read a book I want to hold cardboard and paper, and turn pages. I want to use a bookmark and lay the book on the table when I take a break.....more>>

  • Obama has chance to keep peace with Iran
    With Iran, it's starting to sound awfully like seven years ago, when Bush and Cheney were waving their swords at Iraq as their campaign of lies and deceit was under way leading up to the invasion. It seems the only phrase we're not hearing is WMD for weapons of mass destruction.
  •  Springsteen, breaking news and 'roll' models
    Do you know The Daily Star is probably the only newspaper in the world that has had a front-page photograph carrying a Bruce Springsteen photo credit? And I'm the one responsible for it.
  • What works for people, not the insurers?
    It is hard to believe that the national debate over health-care reform has become so nasty. Our invasion of Iraq didn't create such a stir _ as if that, too, didn't affect everybody in some way.
  •  The mystery of Mud Lake
    Does Mud Lake really exist? We found ourselves asking that question a lot during a recent hike that was supposed to go there and back.
  •  A changing of the guard at the border
    I crossed the U.S.-Canadian border a few times last week and there was a profound change at the crossings in the manner and temper of the border guards.
  •  Don't bug me about being liberal
    Who would have thought my boyhood fascination and handling of toads, frogs and other amphibians would predetermine my so-called liberal beliefs later in life? Some recent studies allegedly show just that.
  • There's still time to end those wars
    Memorial Days are never joyous times, for obvious reasons. And this year, the occasion is especially dour for those of us who supported Barack Obama, not only for all the other reasons, but because we thought he was a peace candidate who would put an end to our misguided wars.
  •  Flu may be the revenge of the critters
    You know, in many ways it all comes down to the way we raise our critters for food. We should realize that the animals might come back to haunt us somehow. Now it's swine flu. Why not just call it pig flu; do they think swine makes people feel any better? And the pigs surely think they're getting a bad rap, since they got it from chickens or some other fowl.
  •  Use caution instead of credit cards
    Do you realize that now there's double-digit unemployment in this area to go along with the longtime poverty rate in double figures?
