Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 11:51PM Today I took a look through our local book shop. I always feel relaxed when browsing through the shop. So many great books and so little time to read them all. Today I purchased a book called "The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr. It's sub title is "How the internet is changing the way we think, read and remember". I am looking forward to reading it and will report back what I think.
