I've been seeing magazine ads for the movie "One Day." It looks amazing. I'm not always the best judge of these things considering what I base my judgement on: who is in it, who does the music, and what its rating is.
But, I've been wanting to see it. Little did I know that it was a book first.
If you know the geek side of me, you know that I refuse to watch most movies before I've read the book they're based on. So when I realized that the movie was based on a book, I was torn.
I LOOOOOOVVVEEEE books. I love buying them. I love their smell. I love feeling the texture of the cover and of the pages. I love, love, love them.
But this time I wanted to see the movie!! Alas! I had to buy the book and read it first.
It turns out my drama was for nothing. The book was amazing and I blew through it. Amazing.
Next up? The movie!
Yay!
I am sure Kindle,etc have their place, but there is absolutely nothing like the feel and smell of a book!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I bought a refurbished Nook for cheap, even though I really never thought I'd ever own an e-reader. I do love how light and small it is. I keep it in my purse so I don't get bored waiting in line or waiting at the doctor's office.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest complaint is that I don't like reading it at home and when I'm right in the middle of a good book, that's what I have to do.
I wish, more than anything, that when you bought a real book that it came with a free digital version to load onto my Nook.
