Area Eccentric Reads Entire Book

GREENWOOD,IN—"Instead of spending hours on YouTube every night, Mr. Meyer, unlike most healthy males, looks to books for gratification," said one psychologist.



I'm always the last to know about the best Websites. This week I was reading an industry magazine, and it quoted this article from The Onion, a paradise of satire and sarcasm for those who enjoy that kind of thing.

One of the questions that frequently arises in the publishing industry is whether print material, as we know it, will continue to be in demand. With technology such as Amazon's Kindle and newspapers dying away because of online news sources, it's a real concern. This article addresses, in a humorous way, the phenomenon of a young person actually reading a book. Enjoy!
