Also, I play volleyball and tennis, although I play the latter more for fun, than for competition. My parents gave me a Kindle because of my love for reading, but I really prefer a book with a hard cover

needs to break the set rules of their medium to make the best art and to better themselves and the community. this is exactly what Jane Gallop did in her controversial article “The Ethics of Reading: Close Encounters”.
