These days,

I am increasingly fueled by a raging desire to overprice depressed thoughts.

Or get lost in the flow of books in the jungle of Amazon.

Nothing seems real,

E-books? They leave me thirsty

I miss the smell of pages,

with their wrinkled edges,

and the torn covers that tells me it’s earlier readers validate its dopeness.

I miss it all.

    I miss it, too.
    Does it mean that those things were cooler, or are we just getting old?

      Maybe… Or it might also be that ebooks can never replace the tangible feel of a book in our hands much like an orange juices is never quite the same as the real fruit.

    Ummm, the feel, the smell, the sound of a page turning….The corner folded of a favorite spot and the feeling it conquers just looking at it. Yes, a tangible read that has a way of giving us a temporary special place in life that we can revisit any time.

    I miss it too, which is why I’m reading more hardcover books this year.
