I like having a paperback original. And until literature catches up with the culture - the violence, language, syntax, compression, concision, complexity and diversity that the Internet offers - books still make sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody's idea of a great book is different, of course. For me it's one that makes my jaw drop on every page, the writing is so original.
You'll notice that my books offer great variety. Some are for adults, some for children and some for teens. There are mysteries, historical novels, picture books, love stories and stories of crisis and courage.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
I like the weight, look, and feel of a book. I enjoy turning the pages, and frequently scan the spines of my many books on the wall, each title a reminder of the stored information and creative thoughts contained therein.
My favorite literature to read is fairly dry history. I like the framework, and my imagination can do the rest.
Books give us insight into other people, other cultures. They make us laugh. They make us think. If they are really good, they make us believe that we are better for having read them. You don't read a book - you experience it. Every story opens up a new world.
I like reading novels because it provides insight into human behavior.
I like a good fun chick-lit book as much as I like historical fiction, mysteries, or biographies, I like to be well-rounded!
I love seeing my book on shelves and getting letters from people who liked the book. I love telling stories and having other people tell stories to me.
I've never really been satisfied with a book. I always want it to be better.
