I believe everyone should enjoy reading. (Funny, I used to considerably despise it.) Not because brilliance and comprehension skills are attractive to an abundant amount of mortals, but because one should do so anyways.

Books should be essential to every literate human being on this mother fucking planet. Why? Because books don’t require batteries, they don’t rely on other objects for them to function, they don’t demand internet connection yet they’re so pleasant.

Books are so stimulating, they increase creativity, and imagination. They give you this sense of connection between the words, the author, the characters, and yourself. They allow you to see a different perspective of the world through the authors’ eyes and the character itself. Books give the reader a surge in canniness as well as vocabulary.

I pity those who have the opportunity to read such great creations but are somehow still so deprived of craving a good read.

(I feel like I’m doing a campaign or trying to persuade someone lol…“So vote for Avery Antonio, she’ll get you reading shit.”

“Real life is physical. Give me books instead. Give me the invisibility of the contents of books, the thoughts, the ideas, the images. Let me become part of a book… . an intertextual being: a book cyborg, or, considering that books aren’t cybernetic, perhaps a bibliorg.” 

-Scarlett Thomas, The End of Mr. Y

Screw Kindles and all of them electronic eBook iBook uBook crap.

Sure it serves its main purpose of reading and it is portable but it ruins the originality of reading a book.

There’s a big difference from reading off of a screen and reading of off pages that you can turn. The vibes actual books in hand bring are marvelous. 

You would never get to smell that old smell of the books pages or feel the crispiness of a brand new book with a Kindle. Never will you get that feeling of buying a new book.

It’s just somehow different.
