Post 2: What is a book?

A book is a Midnight Summer Dream, now you wonder why I would say that. Midnight Summer Dream its Chaotic, beautiful, sweet, and bit of comedy and more. You can do anything feel like you matter just a bit, you then wonder why you here. You then know how it feels for a meth addict to be on such a high for a while and never wanting to leave.

Then it’s gone.

Trying to go back but never can, that what’s it like for people who like a physical copy of a book to and worry that iPads and Kindle taking over the world of reading. For me though I can live with reading and getting my Midnight Summer Dream in both forms. Like in Joe Meno quote  “a book is actually a place, a place where we, as readers, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word into image, connecting these images to memories, dreams and larger ideas.” My analogy is inspired from Joe Meno quote because I agree that a book is more than black copy ink on pages and forced to read from school. You are at a place where like I said earlier you may never want to leave and be happy living there.

Sometimes if you’re lucky you can come back to Midnight Sumer Dream.

            How you ask in Nancy Jo Sales said “There’s something about the physicality of a book, the way it looks and feels and even smells” Science also proven that our sense of smell is more reliable to our memories than our eyes. A book I want to hold more than my iPad for reading. If I smell or look at the book I Can remember the pieces of what that “Midnight Summer Dream” was. I think the physicality of a book adds more to why we read then the Kindles or IPad. Though I am a strong believer of that the story matters more than its form to but what form it is does add a bit more of a favorite quality.
