Christopher Corbett, professor of the practice of English, wrote about books and New Year’s resolutions in his latest column for Style magazine. Corbett has not resolved to get a Kindle, nor has he resolved to thin his massive book collection.
“Kindle and e-books may be the future, but what kind of future would I have without my boon companions Eeyore and Christopher Robin and Kim and Long John Silver and Squire Trelawney? I still believe we ought to meet them in books, with actual pages,” he writes.
The essay, “One For the Books” appeared in the January 2012 issue of the magazine.
