Relax Temie. It was tongue-in-cheek.

I think the book will outlast other competing forms of its “manifestations”.

Books are finite, auto-graphical and sometimes autobiographical in nature and they give you a sense that Finite authentic knowledge was captured in time and preserved, at first take, within the bounded covers of a book and can never be altered again . (not that the other manifestations are not authentic compositions, but the book always beat’s it every time)

For one thing,can you compare flipping through the pages on a 40 year old leather back print with each new page smelling of musty age old wisdom to reading a blog where you the author could change his mind tomorrow? No

Long Live the Book!!! Long Live the Book !!!

The book will survive but what form it will be in the next 100 years is what really puzzles me. I wish I can tell.

I completely disagree NOTHING…absolutely NOTHING can beat opening a new book. Sniffing and getting lost in the intoxicating scent of a new book. Dont get me started on old library books. Sometimes I go to the library just to touch books…old ones…I imagine that i am stroking history…a communion with the passage of time. NOTHING…no e-book…no blog can ever match the pleasures of a book.

However, a blog, an e-book, well they are lovely substitutes….

The Iyan-in a bag can be useful, but it can never ever match the burst of bliss of a properly pounded morsel of iyan.

and with that…I am done whining.
