Books of modernity

Accursed pad, digitally produced, words flicker on a bright screen
The sensual feel, the erotic musky odour not apparent
My heart aches.

  1. Aargh, Ebooks. I do not like this concept. It's just not the same. It never will be. I am utterly convinced that real books will never go out of fashion. They simply can't. It isn't possible.

    I don't want to live in a world where a book is a rare thing.

  2. I know I hope ebooks don't eclipse books. It's the feel of a book I like, the smell each one has and how it ages like a person if it has lived an intereresting life, been read many times, travelled etc :P
