I feel it's a whole diffrent feeling when you actully own a book, and just have it near you at all times. I'm not sure how to explain it but, it just feels right yk? Sure you can use a e-book or use a kindle, but I just think it's much better when you really read a book the way it's supposed to be read, and not from a screen or a very old and used library book. Mabye I have this opinion because I believe books are very special and they are almost a part of me. Some people might say "it's a waste of money" but that is simply not true, trust me you will feel great when you finish the book, and see it everyday and you go like "yeah, I finished that :)". Just gets you in a good mood.
