The Library Makes The Man

[Strike For The South]

Only 20 books? The local used book store must be spoiling me. I'd expect at least twice that many for that amount. They've got some well taken care of older books as well.

Don't go blaming us science-inclined folk for that kindle abomination. Some of us enjoy our Asimov in paper form.

I have a perchant for hardcover

I use something called a library. A quick check determines I have rented 79 books since last july.

Note: I go to Uni over a hundred miles away from my home.

Also I prefer the actual book to this rubbish e-reader nonsense. Nothing like smell of a new book the feel of its paper the crispness as you turn the page......

I mark up my books, Highlighter and notes all over them

Reading is not a passive act

But they are awkward to read if you're lying in bed or whatever...

Im with you on this. I dont get the whole Kindle thing. I mean, you just cant curl up with a good Kindle. Plus scrolling is annoying. Id rather turn a page.

Men were meant to curl up with two things: women and real book.

Not going to read from iPad either, I like to shelve my stuff. Books are also furniture.

WTF IS A BOOK???

E-Books are more fun if you stop using your finger to scroll and use another body part instead. Makes reading more interactive.

STFS you also forgot phenom that is toiletry bookery. Taking E Books in the bathroom is disgusting, its like brushing your teeth or drinking coffee while pooping, and thats disgusting, because I have done it. Bathroom books stay forever in the bathroom, and being able to "curl up" on the toilet and take a big lumberjack crap while reading the George W Bush biography is not only poetic, but also something I would not trade for anything. Well, I'd trade it for the Iraq War, but nothing else.
