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.

I love physical books, can't bear to throw them away, and am drowning under the weight of my collection, but I do a lot of my work reading now on my iPad.

I have to admit that I am really partial to the look and feel of a book. I have been that way my entire life. 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.

The more I like a book, the more slowly I read. this spontaneous talking back to a book is one of the things that makes reading so valuable.

For me, one of the hallmarks of a really great book is that I'm seeing it in my head while I'm reading.

Whether I'm at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I'm looking forward to reading.

Also, if nothing else, writing this book has really changed the way I experience bookstores. I have a whole different appreciation for the amount of work packed into even the slimmest volume on the shelves.

For me the end of a book is just as exciting as it is for a reader.

When I have a book I enjoy, I'm partly in the book. I'm not just observing it.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.
