I Love Dead Trees

I have digital books, and a few different eBook readers. I enjoy eBooks, but I have to admit, if I had my druthers, I’d grab a hunk of dead tree any day.

Stranger in a Strange Land

Not only do I like actual books, but I really like old books. Like this beauty here. I found this at the used bookstore for $1.95, and I can’t wait to open it and start reading. The yellow pages and faded text almost transport me to another world. I’m not sure if it’s the age, or the nostalgia — but something about old books just tickles my fancy.

Also, I haven’t read Stranger in a Strange Land since my accident, so it’s a special treat I get to relive! Yay for horrible, life changing, amnesia causing accidents!

    Perhaps the book is breaking down in such a ways that the pages become yellow and an odd gas that makes you feel happy is being released.

    Oh yes! Don’t forget the smell of old books. That’s very unique. I frequent used book stores a lot. You never know what little gem might be waiting there for you to find. Enjoy your read!
