Dear Kendle,
I don't think I like you very much. I don't want to read my book on a screen...I like books. I like to hold them. I like to smell them. I like to turn the pages. I like a hard cover book. I want to own it, I don't want to borrow one from the library. I might want to read it again, and again. Although I know the outcome, I am still hopeful that it will turn out differently, I guess that makes me a little crazy. I get excited and nervous, anticipatious (is that a word?) wondering what's gonna happen next. But I have to turn the page for that!
As much as I don't like you, I dislike the audio book even more. I am past the age of needing to be read to and I don't want to 'listen' to a book while riding/driving to Atlanta: I want to sleep, or talk to my husband or listen to music. To me, 'hearing' a book makes it boring, it's like reading a song, but that's just me.
So it doesn't matter what the rest of the world is doing, I'm turning pages, anticipating...sometimes reading the last page before I get to it. I love books, hardcover, though I'll take a paperback, novels, biographies, fables, anthologies...I have to feel it, with my hands, with my heart, with my head.
Sincerely,
The Jazzy Diva
