If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think I've ever read an old book through from start to finish. Not after more than six months after writing it, that is.
Most books today seemed to have been written overnight from books read the day before.
My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.
I know in this time of great technological advancement, the idea of reading a book seems almost anachronistic, but I think it's worth preserving.
Actually my first eight books were historical novels, but they were never published.
When I found the book was condemned as soon as the book was printed, or rather as soon as it was set up ready to print, I held it in plates for a year nearly, waiting to see what would come out of all this discussion.
I can't believe there will ever be a time when the book is truly obsolete. It is the perfect technology and feeds the soul.
The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.
The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.
