Digital Books... Reading, Writing and Reviewing

‘Digital Books…’, the fourth in the Fingertips series, looks at how book reviewing adds to our personal reading skills and storytelling capabilities.


Books have always been a part of my life but my greatest experiences with reading and writing took place after 1975, when I’d received a full year of specialized academic experiences at the University of Colorado - Boulder’s innovative Telecommunications Program. What follows shows the escalation in my reading and writing and my book reviewing efforts over the last 20 years, demonstrating how the collective value of this focused activity enhanced my individual ability to understand large and complex issues. Traditional reading and writing habits are invaluable and are accessible to everyone ‘at your fingertips’. Hopefully my personal experiences will help to convince others that this is now a real capability for each of us to achieve and that it is never too late to learn.
