No time for books ?

This is actually my first ever post to a blog (and certainly my first attempt to create one)... yes, I suppose I shouldn't admit that in this class but it is true... I am one who has come late and skeptically to the "freedom" of the digital world and all of its 2.0 tools--- instead I tend to feel rather brow beaten into the need to learn this stuff at the expense of time to do other things...like read a really good book...
