I like reading. The good thing about books is you can take them anywhere, and in turn, they can take you anywhere. They can take you to Mordor or Las Vegas or Tralfamadore or deepest Africa. 

Their pages of black and white have the ability to fill your imagination with the most vivid of colours.

They fit in your pocket, your bag, you coat. They are soft like a woman's touch, and they have history. Their pages turn yellow and they smell musty yet they have history. The history of being read, enjoyed, hated, loved. Inspiration, emotion and knowledge all lie within them.

You can toss them across a room and not worry if they break

You can get them wet and leave them to dry.

 

 

 

You can't take a Kindle to the beach worry-free. You can't leave it the sand while you go in for a dip.

You cant drop it or smell it or touch it or feel it. It goes against thousands of years of tradition. A revolution, perhaps? But a revolution not needed.

You cant display them on a bookshelf or lend them to your friends.

A book wont freeze on you.

A book wont run out of battery, it does not need software updates.
