I am currently reading “War & Peace” in the “dead tree version”.
My nightly Bible readings are also dead tree style.
I Love the weight of the book in my hands, the texture of the pages, the smell of the oxidizing paper and cardboard, and in the case of the Bible, the aroma and tactile pleasure of the pliable leather and gold tipped pages of onion-skin that caress my fingers as I turn the pages. It is like playing the real guitar instead of a “Guitar Hero” Midi controller.
Reading, for me, is a totally sensual experience! LOL!
War And Peace was a good book, but I had to put it down two times to read two different books to change things up.
Totally agree, real books involve all the senses. I have a Nook, but prefer real books because of the look, feel, smell, and sound. Mostly I use my Nook for internet when in bed. It’s smaller and lighter than a laptop.
