I Like to Read

I Love The Smell Of Books!... There is nothing like the smell of books, both new and old. I swear every time I am reading a book, I hold my nose close to the pages and inhale. I find the smell comforting and reminds me of my happy reading days. I also like the feel of the paper. I always run my fingers over the pages, and revel in the feeling. I also pause when I walk into a bookstore, just to savor the aroma!

Don't get too used to that smell. E-books via Kindle Nook and Apple books are taking an ever increasing share of the book market. It is a cost issue. It cost a lot of money to print paper books and you have to sell so many before you break even. That isn't the case with e-books. Newspapers and magazines are already making the move toward internet distribution and in just a few years paper publishing will go the way of vinyl records and to some degree CDs. You mind keep a few books around just to remember what the smell was like.
I am not against with e-book or kindle. I have nothing against new developments in technology. I have tried reading an e-book and it is pretty convenient, however I still like the actual books. Nothing can replace them. I did sell some of my books so it can be recycled and be useful again in any other forms/ways. And I like the thought of passing my old books to the next generationl

I think old paper books are great, I just can see the writing on the wall and what the shear economics of it will bring. Kind of like the self check out at Wall-Mart. I hate to see it. Those machines don't buy goods or services like cars and food and they don't pay social security and taxes.

You would love the bookshops on Steep Hill, in the city of Lincoln (England). I love to go when I`m down that way. Newcastle Upon Tyne and other cities have fabulous bookshops...I`m addicted to them!
Send me one of the bookshops! Haha!

OK...where are you on the planet? I`ll get FedEx to bring it!

I absolutely love this post, everyone here is as weird as me hehe. I love how books smell too, even though lately I haven't been able to make a distinction in the smell since my room now smells more or less like books I think.

E-books are ok but there is something nice about holding a real book and loosing yourself in the story
