Books: They've got character.



A recent trip to Half Price Books inspired me to finally write about this topic. I love books! But probably not in the same way that one might think. I am the first to admit that I am a movie buff first and foremost. But I will say that books without a doubt are much more physically interesting than any DVD case will ever be. Books look warm and inviting, even if it is a book about something dark, it is still more physically appealing than a DVD case (or even a VHS case...old school). Think about it, a stack of books looks so much better than a stack of DVD cases! Thats why, in my future home I will have either a library or a wall of bookshelves (even though I love movies more than books).



I could sit in a bookstore for HOURS and look at old books, wonder who their previous owners were, wonder where that book had been, did it sit out for guests to see or was it tucked under a pillow for a late night read?
At the end of the day movies will come and go, but old books will always have a special place in my heart :)
