It just occured to me that I may possibly be the only person for whom this quiz could be paraphrased as 'would you rather give up your job or your hobby'... Which does make it a bit of a no-brainer, unless you are really, really in love with your job...
I know you can get e-books. But not enough of them, and not of sufficient quality, in my view, to replace real books. I don't care about the actual physical object at all, but there aren't enough long, engaging, really well-written stories. Also a book is just a book. It has a purity of purpose.
There is no temptation to just pop away into another tab and start leaving annoyingly long and badly thought out comments on other people's journals...
