Appreciating Books


I hope books don't become extinct! There's just something really cool about holding a 500 page novel and looking smart! rather than reading it online, or using kindle (i'm sorry kindle lovers!) Plus I really like book stores, and seeing people who like the same sections i do. There was a book fair today, and I couldn't help but appreciate:

1- how new books smell!
2- how someone cared enough to write a subject about something! makes you feel how important it is (a book about robes, makes you appreciate robes!)
3- how an expert wanted people and kids to learn about something.
4- how pages are protected by the cover. and i don't care what they say, you still judge a book by its cover!
5- most bookstores have coffee shops.
6- good books make it to movies, but the book is always better than the movie!
7- how when you buy a book, you feel like you bought something good (almost healthy) for you! even if the book is not really any good.
8- seriously you just look smarter carrying a book!
9- how they keep you busy while you're waiting.
10- you read to children when they fall asleep. They'll always remember that you were carrying a book to read to them.
11- It's nice to find common interests through books. It draws you closer in a way. Oprah has her famous book club for that reason!
12- It's a way for talented writers to get money.
13- It helps you exercise your imagination.
14- how one book can change your life.
15- how you can choose to read a book to fall asleep!

Gracias, Appreciated,
