What is a book?
To
me a book at a whole other world. It’s something you can turn to when you want
to escape the real world. A book to me has to be something you can’t just
download on the internet whenever you want, you have to be able to go out and
buy it from a store. I have to have a physical book in my hands to be able to
read and pay attention to what I read. If I have a Nook or a Kindle I feel like
what I’m reading isn’t true, it feels like every other thing you can just read
on the internet. It’s not the same as reading in a book than being able to read
it online. To me it just feels like I’m cheating the book world by turning to
an electronic device. I have to be able to feel the pages of the book, the
weight of the book on my hands I can’t just hold a small device and believe it’s
a real book. I have to be able to turn the page of my book to believe it’s a
book, and I don’t consider sliding the page to work. A book is a small object
that has importance and can be passed down generation to generation, I mean how
long is it going to be before Nooks and Kindles go “out of style” and you no
longer have those books. Think about it, would you like to have a physical copy
of a book for as long as you want or just have it until your device is popular?
Having a book is like having another life in your hands because it truly is a
whole different experience. A book to me just has to be something I can feel a
connection with for as long as I can, because a good book never goes out of
style. A book is physical not digital.
