Monday Books Blog Report: A Literary Betrayal, a Reading Diet, and More

She likes collecting books, having a full bookshelf, and the physical experience and "familiar ritual" of having a book in her hands.

But now -- gasp! -- she is on the verge of betraying her trusty friends, "and everything I thought I stood for in the realm of ink printed pages bound with glue."

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I desperately want a tablet reader," the twentysomething Brooklyn blogger writes .

She explains that the time has come because large paper books are no longer practical in her life, on her rides on the New York subway:

"I guess the truth of the matter is, if I only read at home, in the comfort of my living room or in bed at night, I'd stick with books forever. But alas, I'm in NYC, and my 'reading time' usually involves a packed subway car of sweaty, smelly people, with elbows in my face and baby carriages running over my feet. If I'm lucky, I can find a way to get one of my hands near a pole to hold onto, otherwise I'm stuck in the middle of the train in no-man's land, trying to use all the core strength I have from yoga to keep from falling on the group of teenagers shouting at each other in front of me, or the guy with some sort of weird skin disease behind me. And this is on a good day."

Being a beginner, tackling something you've never done before is a rare experience, especially as we get older. I remember feeling a mixture of excitement, elation, and fear. It was exciting to be standing on the edge of a new experience, to take a flying leap into the unknown," she writes. "I was elated to feel so free, to clear my head and my mind and try to imagine writing in a completely new way. And I was full of fear. Not so much the fear of failure -- I tend to view first drafts as experiments -- but could I actually figure out how to write a book? Would any of my theatre skills apply? Or would they get in the way?"
