No one can have too many books at least that is my thought. Books are great. They take you to new places without ever leaving a comfy chair. They educate you and teach you new ideas. Their value can never be underestimated. When I went to school we used encyclopedias. They were great for homework plus you read other sections learning things while trying to find what you were looking for. Initially, they were only in libaries. However, the book publishers figured out that they could have a wider audience if they reduced the prices and some of the quality. Sure enough families were buying a book a week at the local grocery. The Encyclopedia Britannica was the most comprehensive but also the most expensive. Once the iternet arrived, parents used the books that were available to help their children with special reports. Today, however, everything has changed. Now students are using AI for their reports. I hope the teachers and professors figure out that they are not learning anything by using a computer program to write their papers. I think it is appaulling. With the phones and computers children are learning but at a price. Nothing is better than reading good books. It opens up new worlds for you. When my son was little he didn’t want to learn to read. Why would he when everyone and I do mean everyone including his sister read to him. One day, though I had to go on an overnight business trip with Mary. Of course, that night my late husband fed them ice cream sundaes for dinner! The following day when we were driving back we stopped at a book store. She bought gifts for her children. I bought a few illustrated classics for him and that is all he took. He was hooked. Now as an adult he never leaves home without a reading book. It may be that the only skills future children will learn is how to read so that they can use AI and computers. How do you feel about books?
