I was initially dead set against using or owning an electronic reader device. I ended up caving in and buying a Kindle as I was looking for a way to minimize and simplify my book collection. An e-reader makes logical sense for so many reasons when compared to physical books. The space issue alone makes it a better choice not to mention that most books are cheaper than their counterparts.

I however am not always ruled by logic and regardless of “reasoning” tend to follow my heart. It is for this reason that my Kindle tends to lay untouched on a shelf surrounded by piles of books waiting to be read. You see, logic says that e-readers are the best choice but my heart and hands still think otherwise.

Coming to the writings of Urban Scout afresh, I’m immediately surprised that I hadn’t embraced him earlier — maybe it was his apparent coolness that put me off, but then he makes a point of addressing this in one of the chapters of his new book, “Rewild or Die”. Those who have been taking in Scout’s musings as regular sustenance might find little that is new here, but for the rest of us — and surely that’s who this book is aimed at — this collection of essays comprises a rich vein of intelligence, humor, controversy and often plain bizarreness…

I love books and reading and am a member of LibraryThing. This is my library catalog if interested in seeing my collection of books.
