I consulted my sister and occasional muse, Kim, about this year’s summer reading list, and we ended up discussing the future of books. She is an elementary school teacher and told me about one of her students.
In class, Kim recently compared reading to watching movies and explained to her class how readers use their imaginations to envision the characters and scenes in books. One of her fourth graders interrupted and said he couldn’t wait until there was a device that would "read the book for me and then make a movie out of it so I could watch it." It gives the phrase "straight to video" a new meaning.
