Dzof the Viper?

Dzof Azmi's column in the Star at the weekend was a wonderful wind-up for people who love the physicality of published books. Words ... not books are what counts, he says, as he predicts the imminent demise of the paper manifestations and the growth of digital ones. Do go read.

(We've had this debate before, of course, and I can pretty much predict what your take on the issue is, just as you can most probably predict mine!)

Was much amused to read on Azmi's blog that Thor Kah Hoong had called up his mum and called Azmi ' a viper':

... for suggesting that the writing was on the electronic wall for physical books.

His response? :

I like that, I've never been compared to a muscle-engined sports car before.

Anyway, should Dzof's vision of the future come to pass, I would probably become Thor's best customer, and get stuck in a happy time-warp rediscovering past literary glories!
