Reflection 12/11

                A book is a gateway, a gateway to a new world, to a new point of view, to a whole new life. For me reading on a kindle or iPad is like reading on a brick I can’t focus, I can’t get comfortable, they’re awkwardly shaped, too big or to small and you have to adjust the brightness the word size. There are way too many distractions when using them who would to just read when you could surf the web, shop online etc.

                A book isn’t just words, it’s a perfect harmony of that sweet rain smell of the pages and however you sit it’ll fit perfectly in your lap. The only distraction maybe technology, music’s too loud, TV’s on. There nothing that can compare to that comfort, I especially enjoy getting into my favorite sweat pants and curling up on the couch with my cat and book in my lap. If your cat so much as sniffs your iPad you could lose your page, your whole book, or open a whole new browser and send the machine into a complete breakdown.

                So we don’t just read for the words we read for how those words make us feel, how comfortable we are when we read them. Nothing beats reading your book and your cat pokes his head over it. So no more technology reading.... for the sake of cats.
