I used to be a “bookaholic”. I spent my childhood reading, to such an extent my mother was worried, and forced me to play more and to read less! Since I entered university, I have stopped reading novels because I have to read a lot of academic papers. Moreover, I think that the fact of having a laptop drove me away from books. However, I feel very guilty about that since I consider books fundamental for our personal and intelectual development! I enjoy reading fiction in general, detective novels, historical novels, theater plays too. I am currently reading “Confieso que he vivido”, Pablo Neruda's memoires, in which he recounts his personal, literary and political fascinating life.
I suppose that digital books will replace their actual format. It makes me sad because I am used to it, but it may be positive, since it could make books to be more accessible.
I kinda was a bookaholic too...now I sleep almost all the free time that I had! Is a shame and a pity =/
