By the way, I have read a book where the binding was not attached and the pages were loose and wanted to pull my hair out before I even reached the middle of the book. With 3 kids and 3 dogs running around, any loose leaf papers tend to go flying.  |
You said it! Go girl! I agree 100%. I get more "satisfaction" by having a very useful "tool".

There are still a lot of people who get a lot of satisfaction from riding a horse but when they need to get somewhere, the use a motoer vehicle of some sort. Just as there are riding clubs today, I can imagine a day when there will be reading clubs who get together with bound books to share their "satisfaction" from turning the pages and smelling the musty, dusty pages, saying things like, "Isn't it satisfying to have to manually search through the pages for a particular quote?"
