Paperbacks

If you don't read novels on a daily basis then you have no business reading this post.

Hardcovers.
First of all, I'd like to point out that the paper around a hardcover is not useful other than to look nice. Second, they cost a lot more. Third, and final, they are heavier.
Do you want to be caught reading a novel too heavy to carry? That's what I thought. That may be a slight hyperbole but it doesn't change the fact that paperbacks are much more appropriate for reading. Textbooks however, deserve to be hardcover because it helps to identify that it is in fact a non-fiction article of observation.

Paperbacks.
The most glorious thing an author can do for its readers. They're light, inexpensive and much easier to fit into a purse. They just feel right.
There are only two small problems that I have with paperbacks.
1. They can bend easily. You accidentally drop your book and the whole cover is folded. Major problem.
2. The authors think it's funny to hold onto their paperback books until months after the book is released in hardcover. I have three books that I really wont but I don't want a hardcover version so I am forced to wait for months until I can buy them. At church on Sunday, we talked about patience. That's what I'm practising now and forever more.

Now go get your read on!
