I watched an interesting video today on the topic of MEDIA.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\nHow do you like to read a book?<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you listen via your phone?<\/p>\n
Do you read on-line such as an e-book?<\/p>\n
Do you listen through cassettes on CD?<\/p>\n
Do you purchase the print book and read it page by page?<\/p>\n
Here is How I READ BOOKS.<\/h2>\nDue to profound sight loss, I receive books from the<\/h3>\nNational Library Services at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, PA.<\/h3>\n
The books I read are FREE for me because of this disability. I order books I want to read.\u00a0 Those books arrive on a digital cartridge that I insert into a particular audio player. I listen to books in this way.<\/p>\n
I’ve been reading with my <\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nEARS <\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nsince October 2007.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nDo I like it?\u00a0 NO!<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nHowever, I deeply appreciate that I do have the ability to read in a different way than I did before sight loss. In fact, my book, Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems, <\/strong><\/em>is available on Amazon as an Audible book. Listen to a remarkable reading by Lillian Yves as she takes you on a journey through the year in poems and stories.\u00a0 Chek it out here!<\/a><\/p>\nMy book \u00a0is also available through the NLS BARD program\u00a0 for FREE, by n excellent reader, Polly Slavet.\u00a0 Ask for DBC11608, Her reading voice \u00a0is delightful.<\/p>\n
Yes, it was tough to get used to listening to a book! I felt \u00a0a disconnect between what I was hearing and the experiences I had known during my years of reading from an actual physical print book.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, I am able to get \u00a0the NLS \u00a0services.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for this way of reading books.<\/p>\n
However, I do miss reading with my eyes.<\/p>\n
_I miss the SIGHT of the book. I loved to see the cover, read the text, and see the pictures, the binding, and the pages’ thickness.<\/p>\n
_I miss the TOUCH of the book in my hands. It is something that nothing else can duplicate – at the special touch of fabric, glossy papers, edges of pages as I turned them one by one.<\/p>\n
_I miss the SMELL of the book – the unique and subtle aroma that surrounded me when I opened the book to begin reading.<\/p>\n
_I miss the HEFT of the book in my hands. It is like a work of art – it’s physical and has weight.<\/p>\n
_I miss the IMAGINATION heightened as I looked at the words on the pages – and silently allowed the ideas to flow into my mind and take me on a journey. Listening to someone read the book will never be the\u00a0 presence\u00a0 I experienced when I read the book with my eyes and mind working together in tandem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Podcasts can be interesting for another option through media.<\/p>\n
In a limited way, a podcast feels like sitting \u00a0through a lecture but never feeling \u00a0the emotion and energy \u00a0that is present \u00a0when a person is there with you – within touching distance.<\/p>\n
Zoom meetings and podcasts can help us gain information quickly without doing any of the hard work of research investigating a topic in depth.<\/p>\n
I’d much rather walk into a real physical brick and mortar community library. I’d much rather walk through the stacks and touch the books that catch my attention.\u00a0 I’d much rather make aesthetic visual choices through a process of selection.\u00a0 One sense can never replace another one that is lost.\u00a0 Media matters.<\/p>\n
