Nothing like a good book to get cozy with. I buy mostly used books cheaper and easily disposed of . pitched into a "donation box"

Holding a book evokes very happy memories of my childhood spent in libraries. I have 2 e-readers that I only use when I travel and a book takes up valuable space in my carryon.

There's nothing like holding a book in your hands, opening it, with the scent of printed pages, especially a brand new one! The excitement of turning the page in anticipation, not always knowing what happens next, or where the story might be headed - you cannot get that from an electronic device.

I listen to lots of audio books while cooking or treadmilling. (But when I read with my eyes, of course I read paper books as nature intended.)
