Books

I love books. Above all else, I love to read them, but I also like to look at them, touch them, smell them (new book smell and old book smell: very different, both enjoyable). I understand electronic Kindle type books are terribly convenient, but they lack romanticism. I still have my favorite books from childhood. I even have a book of fairy tales from my mother's childhood that she read to me. Some of them are falling apart, but they're still beautiful. Call me old fashioned, but I like the printed word in, you know, print.
