Reflection 3: What is a book?

A book is a hamburger. It’s loaded with a ton of different things, characterization, conflict, and hidden meanings, which only make it better. Reading a juicy book is as enjoyable as sinking your teeth into a delicious burger. Once you start it you have no choice but to finish it. It doesn’t matter if you are reading on an electronic device or reading a paperback. You are still reading the same material. You will still get the same feeling from reading on either of those. The change that people are making to electronics is just showing our society is advancing. It doesn’t mean that we don’t enjoy reading as much. I don’t really think a book’s smell matters at all. I don’t think you get a better experience reading a book whether you are flipping through pages or just sliding your finger. In this day in today’s world getting a book is truly just an inconvenience and burden on yourself to have go to a library or waiting days for it to come by mail when you can get it instantly on an e-reader. Not to mention books are harder to keep in good condition but you don’t have to worry about a book being ruined if you have it on an electronic device.
