Curling up with a good book.

First off, I would like to apologize to Jill, my beautiful, slightly older, much shorter, sister, whom I love dearly. 
For on this particular topic, we will never agree.

Okay, alrighty then...

shall we begin?

I have a real problem with these new electronic book readers.

The Kindle, the E-Book, or whatever.

Sure, they make sense.

They're economical in the long run, they'll reduce your carbon footprint,

they're small and convenient, they can store a gagillion books, newpapers, magazines.

Blah, blah, blah.

I get it.

But,

I love books.

Real ones.

Ones you can hold in your hand,

and smell,

and write in,

and highlight,

and stack on a shelf.

All kinds.

Classics,

smutty romance,

adventure,

travel,

biographies.

I'm gonna put these electronic book readers on my

technology con list. 

They're just too much for me.

Call me crazy, but...

I wanna curl up with a bound block of paper,

not cold plastic and metal.

And, please,

as always,

feel free to disagree.
