Today I started to read another book. I just finished up my book for book club, which I L.O.V.E.D. I can not wait to discuss with the girls and to watch the movie.
I love books.
There was a time that I would buy books to read. I love the feel of the paper. The art work on the cover. But after time, all those books added up to lots of clutter and a smaller bank account. So I started checking them out from the library.
I now find myself holding back to buy books; why spend the money when you can have it for 3 weeks for free??? Anyway, I find myself thinking more and more about buying a Nook. I am not sure why; I have hated those things for some time. Why read a screen when you can hold a book in your hands. But a few months ago the idea started to grow in me. I had one on my Christmas list but my dear, sweat hubby had no idea what it was.
The other day a few friends and I were talking about it. My friend is ready to go purchase one and I can't wait till she does. I want to play with it. I want to hear what she thinks about it. I have visions of having hundreds of books in my purse, all neat and tidy on the Nook. I will have no more clutter; no more piles of books staring at me saying "read me already" (I still have your books Mary - sorry).
Two things are stooping me, 1. i LOVE to read in the bath tub; not sure i have the guts to do that with Nook. 2. What happens if I miss the paper under my fingers????????
Enough about that, I am off to read and to think that this may be the last paper book I read for some time.
