BOOKS CORNERED

For the past few years since the start of the modern computer era the importance of books is being questioned and now it has turned into a hot gossip whether books should be used or should we shift to electronic media.All these gossips did not affect me much but recently when I had gone to Salt Lake City Centre my viewpoints got shattered.A huge area containing outlets of different brands like "KFC","Shoppers stop","Wills Lifestyle" having a variety of commodities within hands reach but when it came to books the place was a small corner under the escalator !! The name of the shop is a dilemma itself - "Corner Bookstore".As if the store itself is expressing that Book is now cornered.It is for all of us to think whether we should let books get Cornered !!

what are you angry with?
.books being replaced with comp.
.or,the location of the corner
book store
(if the first one-then what's the harm? after all you are in love with the content of the book and not the smell of the pages.
and if the 2nd one-then probably that has happened due to some economic difference between the owners of the bookstore and 'lifestyle'. And never mind book lovers like you will not let the location of the source of their biggest entertainment(book shops)effect their interest.
