I Love Books

posted on July 19, 2011

As long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with books. I use to stay up late and get up early to read and even in this world of digital everything, I sure do have a lot of packages arrive every week with books in them.

That is why on the same day that I read about Borders announcing it is closing all their stores, I found this video about a secret second hand book store called Brazenhead Books and it made my day.

While, I love reading on my Kindle App, I hope, pray, and believe that the paper book as we know it will never fully go away. Too many of us, still love them.

Good read? Share with others!

    We just got new bookshelves for the dining room and I took such an immense pleasure in arranging books on them last night. My mom saved every book I ever had as a child and is mailing me boxes of them for the nursery. I can’t wait to reread every single one of them.

    I saw this vid last week – v excited to find it!  Will definitely check it out next time I have a chance in NYC.  There’s also a blog called Bookshelf Porn – a photoblog of books/ bookstores/bookshelves…..  I think there’s enough of us to keep them around for a while.

    I hope books stay in print also! I read a lot online but constantly refer back to my books as both references as well as enjoying a good read.

    Just as I enjoy unplugging from a stove/oven for cooking to grill out,
    Just as I enjoy unplugging from a house/apartment to go camping,
    I enjoy unplugging from my digital device to enjoy a “dead tree” edition of a book.

    Reading in general tends to put me to sleep (let’s say bible college burned me out), and I like the portability of a Kindle or Nook (or, in my case, the app version on my Android), especially when I’m learning SQL or need references–it saves toting around five hundred pounds of two-inch-thick reference guides. :-)

    As a child, I would check out twenty books at a time from the library. And read them all. I love my kindle, but it does not warm my heart like the feel of paper. My first “instruction manual” for social media was a book that I even now still reference.
    Glad to know there are still hard-core book lovers in the world!

    Next to my sister, my books were always my first friends. We moved every three years when I was growing up (my dad worked for the government). My mom didn’t want to deal with the tears of broken and lost-parts toys, so my sister and I primarily had books and stuffed animals. We both grew up with a passion for books. I’m okay with reading on the iPad, but I far prefer holding a paper book in my hands.

    Books are, and will always be, an enormous part of who I am. I love to read. Thank you for sharing this.

    I love my Kindle, too, but there is nothing like a wall covered with books lining shelves. The digital age will never be able to compete with that! Brazenhead looks like my kind of reasonably chaotic bookstore.
