Strictly by the book
|
Strictly by the book Everywhere I turn there are Nooks, Kindles, eReaders or people reading on electronic devices....it makes me sad. I'm a lover of books! I have a library with thousands of volumes and cherish each of them. Don't get me wrong, I have all the "tech" devices that make life convenient...but NOTHING can replace a "REAL BOOK" for me. What about you? |

I have a different experience... I grew up reading a lot of books and I read many books at a time. Sometimes as many as four books: fiction, science, politics, and management. I read them at different times in a day. In my car during my daily commute, in my office, and in my bed before sleeping. The prblem comes when I travel since I end up carrying four books minimum. This is so inconvenient because I am a travel lighter..but since I enjoy reading books I take the discomfort... Until the laptop came along and everything I need are all there..reports on my business, memos from my employees, and of course digital copies of the books I am reading...For me the Laptop is the best thing that ever happened to my reading... As to this little gadgets with small screens, they do not appeal to me. Yes they are light but their screens are too small...Maybe at 49, we want the world to be a little bigger icluding the display of our digital gadgets... A thousand books in your collection! That is a lot! I am interested to know what these books are. By the way, your partially hidden face screams to be fully revealed! I wonder if you can throw me a full picture of your face...vanilla picture is what I mean.

Thank you for your point of view. As to my collection of books, well eclectic is probably the best description. Everything from Howard Stern,to Buckminster Fuller and Roger Zelazny.

I just got an Ipad, and will try out the electronic book, but think it will NEVER replace the feel or a real book.. I'm a avid reader, have been since was a tot, and there is something about the feel of a book that I relish... OK, I am the same way about newspapers..ink smudges and all..lol Captivate my mind...and who knows what will follow. Discover more of my ramblings at [blog geysergirl]

I love to get away from the puter and enjoy a great story. Somehow I just can't get into the ebook thing and don't think I would feel the same enjoyment as with the old paper tech. I guess that makes me part of the technologically disabled. Love Sci-Fi & history Best regards and keep a bright light on when reading to protect those peepers. player

technology is great for lots of things, but some things are just better with touching

Its similar to what happened with the death vinyl records and CDs. There are still shops where the die-hards can still go and reminisce about the old days. Finding the book in paper form will become the hobby/quest versus actually reading it. Touching something is always better than downloading it!

sparked alot of nostalgia i think...i delivered papers as a boy, and the demise of the newspaper industry struck me to a degree..as the one comment posted says, the eyes aren't what they once were..and i find print doesn't jostle around or fade with battery life. am sure i will eventually own a kindle..but it will look out of place next to my leatherbound copy of herman melvilles moby dick, tattered paperback of ''old man and the sea'' ....and many treasures in print that put me in faraway places doing crazy, exotic things...my fantasy life is built on what captivated me as a kid... i think we all have a ''safe place'' we go to when we want to go to sleep...maybe a favorite camping place and the smells of fire and woods.. loved the topic folks, and the many great replies...bobby the dirty carpenter http://Local Adult Companion.com/blog/chef_rocket123

My kids got me a Kindle for my bd and didnt want to tell them that I prefer the boosk as well. Nothing better than grabbing a coffee at Barnes and Noble in Bridgewater and finding a chair and reading a book..although I do like to get my news from the internet.

have been off the site for a few months but this thread caught my attention...definitely real books...and mostly, real newspapers and magazines too. Off the top of my head, there are two traits that come to mind immediately that I look for in reading material and in a woman...real content inside and a real spine.

Yeah I can't bring myself to buy a kindle. I want the book a hard copy.

I am a natural kind of guy, much prefer books to electronic media. Prefer real women to the orgasmatron (woody allen movie, Sleeper, remember?) By the way, you have beautiful eyes. What color would you call them, whiteout?

I like the newspapr ink on my hands and specializing in folding techniques to not bother the rider next to you.

I TOTALLY agree!!

the smell,the feel of the pages,the ability to read ANYWHERE,regardless of proximity to an outlet or whether a battery needs charging.......these are the low-tech realities that keep real books relevant

Growing up I used to look at all the cards at the back of a library card and marvel at how many people checked out the book before me, and how many years ago they were... when you are a kid, 20 years is an eternity, so it was really cool in a nerdy kinda way I guess... a feeling that would have been lost forever in time if it were not for you asking this question... Thank you. Its so exciting to see such a beautiful woman who can touch an intimate part of my life experience that I forgot existed, even though I have never met her. You must be very exciting in person.

I cannot stand trying to read anything on a tablet, phone etc. I would rather have a printed book in my hand. Same thing with newspapers.
