So True! Books Are Wonderful!

8X10 paper and dye ink


I wasn't much of a reader when I was younger but now I LOVE to read (I don't make enough time for it). A friend tried to talk me into getting a Kindle but I'm totally old school when it comes to books. I love the feel of the pages, cover illustrations, using my paper book marker, and seeing all the pages I've read makes me happy. However, the all time best part is when I am all done, placing it on my bookshelf along with all my other "I've enjoyed all these books" place. That's the best!

I TOTALLY agree! I love the feel and accomplishment of reading a REAL book!

Books are a lot of things -- educational, an escape from reality, etc., but they are also BEAUTIFUL. I love everything about them. How they feel, what they look like, even what they smell like. No Kindle for me!

I completely agree with this :) I love reading, although I don't have too much time for it these days either. Perhaps I should take a vacation just to read :)

i'm with you! there's something about holding the book in your hands, feeling the pages between your fingers, the smell of ink, the sound as the pages turn! of course, we love books -- we love paper!!!!
