The loss of books

I had a conversation today with a very computer/technology oriented person on the possibility of books becoming extinct in favor of electronically accessed "books". I keep thinking about had sad that day would be. There is a tactile pleasure derived from holding a good book. One of the simplest pleasures in my life is "getting lost" in the pages of a good book. I certainly hope the day never comes when my shelves are bare of well worn, well loved books.
