What is a Book? -Post #2

A book is a source of education. A book is a life lesson, it always teaches you something, I believe no matter what genre the book is you always learn something about, whether its a new word, fact, or it teaches you a life lesson. I always learn something new when reading a book even if the book is just for entertainment. I strongly agree with "Home Word Bound" by Nancy Jo Sales. I really like how Nancy says "the way it looks and feels, and even smells" To me it's more about that too. Everything she said I agreed with and would have said the exact same thing, I disagree with "Scribble" by Victor Lavalle and Tom Piazza interviews Tom Piazza. I don't think a Kindle, iPad, or phone is the same thing as a book. When I am reading a book, I want it to physically be there, I do not want to read it on a tablet...I think that would even give me a major headache! I like being able to feel the thickness of how much I have left or how much I have already read. I also hate how everything is becoming so much technology it's becoming to much. I think that there is something "magical" about about the book because no matter what you could never replace a book , they will always be around, it's more of how you would want to read it,
