“The world is changing, but I am not changing with it. There is no e-reader or Kindle in my future. My philosophy is simple: Certain things are perfect the way they are. The sky, the Pacific Ocean, procreation and the Goldberg Variations all fit this bill, and so do books. Books are sublimely visceral, emotionally evocative objects that constitute a perfect delivery systemBooks that we can touch; books that we can smell; books that we can depend on. Books that make us believe, for however short a time, that we shall all live happily ever after.” WorldWayBelieveBookPhilosophyCertainSimplePerfectSkyObjectsDependsReaderFitOceanBillsSmellVariationMy FutureDeliveryPacificHappily Ever AfterEver AfterKindlesVisceralProcreationPacific Ocean Author:Joe Queenan
“People who need to possess the physical copy of a book, and not merely an electronic version, are in some sense mysteics. We believe that the objects themselves are sacred, not just the stories they tell. We believe that books possess the power to transubstantiate, to turn darkness into light, to make being out of nothingness.” PeopleNeedsBelieveBookStoriesLightTurnsDarknessObjectsSacredVersionsCopiesNothingness Author:Joe Queenan
