"Read of many things, learn patience, live in utmost tranquillity"
These days, to enter a book shop and to buy books as actual entities, i.e. physically bound batches of printed sheets of paper, is perhaps getting less and less popular, as more people are turning to downloads and the use of electronic devices. Even buying online books, and book clubs with their social interactions and shared book reviews, are beginning to lose out. A real book often seems to present a challenge akin to a “mountain to climb”; the thought of starting at Page 1 and slowly progressing through to the end, can be daunting, especially if it is more than an inch thick!
But, a book lover - a true book lover - knows the joy of possessing that treasure chest of words (fact or fiction) that is The Book. To clutch the cover as turning the pages becomes more and more animated, drawing you ever closer to the long awaited outcome. Even with non-fiction books, (a Crystal Bible perhaps, an Encyclopaedia of Angels, or a book on healing), the ability to pick it up whenever you like, to anticipate discovering some new snippet of information, or just to enjoy its beautiful illustrations, has got to be reason enough to have bought it.
Whether new books or old, books are for sharing, for discussing, for reference. They are still a true treasure, and it is an absolute gift to own them. In the words of an unknown author:
“A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and still remains your friend.”
