More from man-of-the-moment, Matt Haig, in his final BookTrust blog post, in which he runs though some different ways in which books could be made more popular. I’ve only quoted his final exhortation, so follow the link to get the full post…
– Remember that books aren’t going anywhere. E-books won’t replace books, they will become them (electronic paper is on its way). Your Kindle will look old-fashioned in ten years but a book won’t. Stop worrying. Words and stories and narrative and novels are here to stay. Books are maps. They will remain the best way we have of exploring our imaginations and finding thoughts and emotions buried like treasure inside us. Never, for one moment, dismiss or mock or belittle or doubt the world-shaking human power of a book.
