On Top of Old Smokey

Here's an insight into human learning a woman shared with me at the New Smyrna Tom Levine Fest this past weekend.   She said she's been sucked into reading books on Kindle rather than actually reading a book.  I was trying to talk her back from the dark side and into buying one or more of my books. She said somebody gave her a book to read recently and, just for a blast from the past, she determined to read it.  She found it difficult though, because, and this should be a warning to everyone  about the profound effect these cute little digital things can have on the nervous system, she couldn't turn the pages.  Her finger just kept pressing down.  Cue the spooky music.
On a happy note, she did by a book from me for physical therapy.
