I still don't think my kindle holds a candle to a paperback
Hardback books make nice decorations.
selecting what to read next was always a reward
If women arent willing to work the hours over their biological needs to be mothers or thoties
Paperback looks like ass in a bookcase
They deserve to not make as much as men
and having the book reside on my bookcase after I read it announces alot about you when you walk into the den

Paperback books that look well used aren't so bad.
@Grok Urgh, they are the worst
Pfft
well, if you take care of them, it's not so hard
always will remember the virtually library my grandmother accumulated over the yrs
Leatherbound hardback is the only kind of book fit for display. Anything else can be left in piles in the bathroom for toiletreading
A well used book adds to the illusion that you read it.
illusion?
Specifically it, not a digital copy.
I don't buy books I don't intend to read
If I am given books as a gift or inheritance, they usually end up in a box somewhere unless I've bothered to read them
even with things like the original copy of Mein Kampf and Bible
I buy real books I've read digitally.
that is what i do; nice to have a copy if i am on the go
but the majority of the time i read anymore, it's technical manuals
Haven't read a book in ages though. Mostly read online articles nowadays.
But I thought I'd brush up on my book reading now that I actually got "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli for Christmas
reading to relax in the hammock requires a paperback
it just 'feels' different
Read hitlers tabletalk
Watch the greatest story never told
the orignal is EXTREMELY hard to understand
he was a mad man
Who?
A chad man
the english translation just doesn't do it justice
Mein Kaempf - Adolf Hitler
Well what do you expect. Hitler was a failed artist.
Now artists are usually pretty nutty as it is. Imagine being a failed one with the added anxiety and insanity to the mix.
they take alot of liberties with translating the orignal, as if pondering an extreme of an idea is what one sets out to do
