  Console.Write("The content of the title element:  ")
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString())
  reader.ReadEndElement()
  reader.ReadStartElement("price")
  Console.Write("The content of the price element:  ")
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString())
  reader.ReadEndElement()
  reader.ReadEndElement()

  reader.Read(); 
  reader.ReadStartElement("book");  
  reader.ReadStartElement("title");   
  Console.Write("The content of the title element:  ");
