Books

I can't imagine a world without books (at least I refuse to despite having read Fahrenheit 451). There has been fear of printed media's extinction with the birth of tablets. But no... they can't get rid of books. In fact, I read somewhere there's a rise of bookstore openings in some regions of Europe. That's right, more readers  prefer the real thing. Up to now I still can't appreciate reading a book through a screen. I tackled this e-book vs. real book topic before in A Bookworm's Thought. There's a certain gratification in hearing the crisp of the page when I advance to the next page and in breathing in the familiar vanillin scent. For me, convenience of e-books cannot match the pleasure an actual one brings. And electronic versions can't fill up a bookshelf-- a bibliophile like me don't want that. *Wink*

"The book to read is not the one that thinks for you but the one which makes you think."
