Time to Read

Recently I caught up with a friend for coffee. They had just spent time wandering through a book shop and they were loaded with new novels to read. I thought, how long is it since I have read a novel, fact or fiction? Do I still read? What do I read?

Then I thought I do read. But I read in different ways.

I read the blog posts of friends. I read the twitter feeds. I link to authors who write about all sorts of things and best of all, they are telling their stories. They are all stories, real stories. In fact since I have my new HTC phone I read far more. And best of all, at he doctor or dentist I don't have to read the 2 year old magazines. I can read today's news, today's blogs and live tweets. I can link to digital story tellers.

It made me think, digital natives (young and old) do read, we just read different things and in different ways.
