wolfsbrideA real book! With pages! And a smell! Borrowed it from my friend. If I like it half as much as I think I will, I'll have to get my own copy.
Wow. It's been... probably three years since I've handled a book and ten years since I actively stopped reading books every day. I used to read books all the time. I used to buy new books every week. Then I got a new computer that was capable of Internet and suddenly all that changed.
I read the news on-line. I research stuff on-line. About the only time I physically handle reading material is when I go to the doctor's office. Then I read magazines or newspapers. I'd forgotten how nice it is to sit with a novel and feel the weight of it in your hand. Turning the pages instead of right arrowing or scrolling down.
It's like finding something you'd forgotten you lost.
