December's Theme is... Reading the Future
What one person writes, others read and technology is bringing reading and writing closer together. The year ends with Reading the Future, a celebration of all forms of writing and looking forward to all the different types of reading in technology.
Remember, reading isn't just about books. People read text messages, websites, emails, blogs, stories or clues in computer games: reading is anywhere, anything, anytime.
What's your reading future? Let's make 2009 another great year of reading!
