Over the holiday weekend, I bought a bunch of books from some of my favorite bloggers. From what I’ve been hearing from reviewers and from other bloggers, these books are definitely “must reads,” and I’ve consequently chosen them rather carefully.

I began pondering the idea, however, that these bloggers are writing real books. I read a lot of blogs, but not so many books. Should I draw the line or should I give the print method a fair chance — especially because they are coming from people whose blogs I read daily?

I’ve also run into some other stickier situations, some that deal with my own personal time and others about the thought of bloggers as real-book authors.

With RSS and online content in abundance, where does one find the time to read books and traditional media?
I must say that I used to be an extremely avid reader. When I got a computer, that changed. I wasn’t reading books, per se, but the lines and lines of chat and forum posts and blog posts began filling the void that I was missing in real pages of paper. I suppose I have fallen victim of technology overload, which apparently isn’t too uncommon anymore.
