think of it like this. when you read a book book and you take a break you put a bookmark and close the book. it's kind of like doing that for me. it makes me  and we all need more smiles in our lives. |
Ah yes, paper books.
Actually they've lost all their attraction for me personally. I don't have any warm and fuzzy feelings toward them.
I can read them well enough, but I don't want to and haven't wanted for years. Probably that's why I'm not excited by covers either.
Now looking at my various ereaders generates that warm feeling in me. I'm probably weird.
