Nose in a Book

Aww! Thanks for liking my post! <3
I love your blog too! What are your opinions on Kindel's? I absolutely hate them!

You’re welcome!
I think people reading is a good thing no matter how they read, but I ultimately prefer a book in my hands. However, I was going to go away to work at a summer camp for 9 weeks, and was considering getting a e-reader, since it’s obviously a pain to drag a bunch of books to somewhere in the middle of nowhere for 2 months, and a e-reader can be really convenient. If I was traveling a lot I’d also consider getting one, but really only use it when I needed to. Books will always be my number one!

This might be a silly question, but how on earth do you read so many books?! Have you evolved into a faster reader over the years? And do you spend all your free time reading or...? I can hardly get through two books a month, and there are so many books I want to read it annoys me... :D

It’s not silly! I have definitely evolved into a faster reader over time, especially after having to read long, boring books in University with a limited time period. I don’t spend all my free time reading, but I do read quite a bit, although not every day. I can see why it can be frustrating, but I think you’ll get faster over time. Also, I think a lot of books are better enjoyed if you don’t rush through them.

I agree that reading is what matters, however you do it, but I can understand the anon's frustration when ereaders seem to be taking over the printed word. I don't mind people reading something on an ereader, or their phone, or their computer, or whatever - as long as they appreciate real books that you can feel and smell and the independent bookstores that strive to put those books in your hands. The attitude that there's no need for real books in a technological age - that's what's ugly to me.

I agree! I would never want the whole world to switch to e-readers. Personally, I don’t really feel that threatened by them: I think the main threat to bookstores is the people who don’t read at all. Since I don’t know very many people who have e-readers (and the ones I do still buy books the majority of the time) I’ve never felt that e-readers are taking over.

Hey, I love your blog. There's another tumblr blog I think you'll enjoy, it's called Fictional Characters Reading Books. And, Awesome People Reading is cool, too. It's interesting to see what famous people and characters on TV are reading. You should check them out.

Thanks so much, they’re both amazing!
