Reading Grisham on the beach is neither literature nor entertainment. It is only a (sad) cultural artifact.

Paper is going to become precious again, however. Digital surrogates of all types have had a dilutive effect. What you can hold in your hand acquires new materiality, new substance. Invest in tactile experiences, my friends. Virtual is great, but the bread is buttered on the tangible side. In 30 years, the only difference between porn and sex will be perspective.

A *book* in the hand, says to the world...
