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.
