I think that reading is supposed to be an enjoyable experience and I don't think that I could do that if I was worrying about creasing the spine.<br />I'm still thinking about what you did Sky Blue and have to say I am very impressed.Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-74247910930366692842009-04-29T08:57:00.000+01:002009-04-29T08:57:00.000+01:00I'm a bit of a book-batterer myself, as I often ca...I'm a bit of a book-batterer myself, as I often carry them around in a soft knapsack. Having said that, I do try to look after them as much as possible, given the limitations of reason. For example, it annoys me when readers don't open a book wide enough to read comfortably, just to preserve the spine. I buy books to read them, not to collect them.<br /><br />I believe that paper books will be with us for quite some time. E-books and the like are advancing, but I think they're still far behind the practicality, content-to-weight ratio, visual contrast and clarity of a paper book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-30810742642370230192009-04-28T23:08:00.000+01:002009-04-28T23:08:00.000+01:00This brought back memories of persuading my mum to...This brought back memories of persuading my mum to buy books as birthday presents for my friends. I would always - carefully - read the book before it was wrapped up. I can still remember the skill needed to read the pages while they were at a very acute angle to each other!<br />I never admitted to my friends that I had read their present but they must have suspected due to my excellent knowledge of the plot!Ayr Writers' Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289403687920692793noreply@blogger.com
