Love the idea that I can get instant access to a book that someone recommends. But holding a book is its own special pleasure as well.

I love it!<br /><br />I'll probably own an e-reader someday, when they become really inexpensive, or someone gives me one, but it'll never replace the love of an actual tactile book for me.

The book over which I was hovering as I observed my process is The Plum Tree by Ellen Marie Wiseman out in January. The colors of the cover are so vivid that I still am touching it and sort of warming it up before I read. Luscious!

I like to set a new book aside, just to savor the anticipation (kind of like hiding chocolate). I do have a Kindle, and I like it much more than I expected to (I have even read it at home-some books, after all, are available only as e-books these days!). However, I tend to think of the Kindle as a supplement to my library of volumes, not a replacement.

I am a dedicated book in hand kind of person. I recently won The King's Concubine by Anne O'Brien and as I opened the package, my DH asked me if I realized that I petted the book. Actually I was running my hands over the cover and gazing at it lovingly. I looked at him and in my Gollum voice said,"My Precious!". He just shook his head as he walked away. I don't care how many rooms that I have piled with books, I will forever be buying those over downloads. I can totally relate to your post. :)Leah Weller (leahluvsmedieval)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17868406686231656969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-87985162718757057622012-08-24T00:51:20.637-07:002012-08-24T00:51:20.637-07:00Odd - I used to think like that but I'm now to...Odd - I used to think like that but I'm now totally seduced by my e-reader. (Of course I didn't buy a Kindle so all my reader does is offer books - no games - and my relationship with it is much closer to a book than a computer)<br /><br />I love having a whole library in my handbag. I'm currently carrying round about 50 books and half a dozen journals, a dictionary and a couple of reference books, a diary and several holiday brochures. All in one neat package.
