Day 121: The Books on the Bookshelf
I love books!! I love reading! I'm pretty sure I learned to love books from my Dad. He is always reading and collecting books. At one point, he even had a whole bookshelf full of books about books. When I noticed he had one called "The Book On the Bookshelf" I used to tease him that he had way too many books.
But I was thinking today, about the concept of "The Book on the Bookshelf." Nowadays, the actual concept of having a book on a bookshelf is becoming somewhat obsolete. You can download a book in an instant on your tablet, iPhone or computer in a moment. You could be carrying around hundreds of books at the same time without it weighing you down. As convenient and cool as that sounds, for me... there is something about having the actual book on the bookshelf. I love holding the book in my hand and turning the pages as I read.
I understand that for some people, they prefer using modern technology to have several books in one place. But for me... I prefer the book on the bookshelf.
