HOME READING
The fun they had
By I. Asimov
Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page
headed May 17, 2 157, she wrote, «Today Tommy found a real book!»
It was a very old book. Margie’s grandfather told her that there
was a time when all stories where printed on paper.
They turned the pages, which were yellow and crinkly, and it
was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving
the way they were supposed to — on a screen, you know. And then,
when they turned back to the page before, it has been the same
words on it that it had been when they read it the first time.
«Gee», said Tommy, «What a waste. When you’re through with
the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must
have had a million books on it and it’s good for plenty more. I
wouldn’t throw it away».
«Same with mine», said Margie. She was eleven and hadn’t
seen as many telebooks as Tommy had. He was thirteen.
She said, «Where did you find it?»
«In my house». He pointed without looking, because he was
busy reading. «In the attic».
«What’s it about?»
«School».
