I love them. The feel of them. The weight. I don't think I can replicate that with a Kindle, Nook, or any of those fancy electronic book-reading devices. Give me a physical copy any day of the week, even with my bad little old eyeballs I'd prefer the real deal.
I used to read a lot more if you can believe it. I remember back in grade school reading science books for fun. I've gravitated towards the horror genre since I can remember. Swamp Thing comics at six. Clive Barker at eleven. Yep, I am a messed up cookie I'll be the first to admit it. I recently read some other books besides horror. It was scientific stuff by Mr. Asimov. It looks like full circle to me but I'm a optimistic pessimist, it's like the circle is half full of arsenic. Hell, I still read every day.
I also love pursing book stores. Not really the big chain bookstores but the smaller ones, the out of the way ones that are floor to ceiling books. I am blessed to live up here in Washington, there are so many bookstores (and coffee shops) it's a little slice of heaven.
Love books, hate books? Let me know!
