Day 8

I'm grateful for books.
I love the feel and weight of books.
I considered wanting to buy something like the Nook or Kindle,
but that would only be useful to me on vacations.
I love to hold the book, smelling that musty old book smell or the smell of ink on new pages.
Call me old fashioned.
I love seeing my library of books and looking at them to decide what I want to read.
To me, I get more satisfaction from reading a book and turning the pages,
than holding a tablet and clicking a button.
While the tablets save space and aren't bulky,
I still like lugging a good book around.
I'm grateful for the authors, for the creativeness and hard work that goes into a book.
They get the satisfaction of entertaining their readers
and I have the satisfaction of being entertained.
I have thought multiple times about trying to write a book only to realize,
I'm not creative or eloquent enough.
So I tip my hat to those people out there that can not only write books,
but write books that can suck a reader in and keep them enthralled,
 turning pages furiously to the very end.
