Paperback Purist Mugs

Books On Paper

I just bought a new Kindle Voyage. It's much better than my Kindle Paperwhite. Blasphemy, little buddy. A real man lugs around a paperback that he's milled from a fallen Redwood that he lifted off of a baby deer, before reuniting the fawn with its mother. I bought it off of Amazon. I didn't even use "one-click." I used the shopping cart and chose all the options manually. Almost as impressive. I keep it old-school.

It's so quaint that you're reading a book. Stuff it. You really should get a e-reader. They're hip, great-looking. The future. And apparently you can get really good books on them. Apparently? Owning it is the main thing. Reading is for book people. I fear truth in this.
