I was reminded of just how much I love books when I was talking to my husband on one of my weekly trips to the library. He mentioned that he didn’t even know why anyone still used the library when the internet is so handy, and how great technology is- the Kindle electronic hand held reader, IPAQ, miniature hand held computers (that are used to read books electronically and do so much more).
However, there is no substitute for the feeling one gets when holding a new or old book in your hand. I told him that I don’t care how technologically advanced the world becomes that there is no substitute for holding a book in hand. There is simply no substitute for a book. Feeling the crisp pages, the smell of fresh paper; the way it moves and turns. Oh, how I love a good book.
