What is a book? Well I can tell you that is a very good question. A book is not just some 200 to 400 pages in a hard or soft cover; its not just some glowing screen from a e-reader. No a book is something more than all of that, something that people can read to feel alive. In some of the excerpts from "
The Late American Novel: Writers on the Future of Books", they're trying to define of what a book is, the importance of a book. from all those excerpts the person I agree with most is Tom Piazza. "When everything has equal weight, everything is weightless." (Tom Piazza). I couldn't agree more with that quote because if you have everything on a device or a computer, does it really mean anything? You have some many book compiled into one piece of technology that they just become meaningless by than. A real book holds something more, it has more meaning then multiple books stored away on a computer/tablet. It does hold "weight", it holds meaning, each book has a moral to it, personally I just don't get that same feeling from a book on a e-reader. To me its not actually physically there. All it is, is words on a glowing screen that will shutdown in a few hours. Yet a book the I can actually hold in my hands, a book that has a meaning is not a book on a device, its a book that you can actually feel the pages as you turn them, a book that is taking up space on the bookshelf because the reader actually found the moral.
Do you love to read books? What about books
written by Dan Brown? Do you wish that you could experience these books that
Dan Brown has written? Now your dream can become a reality when you go on your
next trip to Disneyland. Yes, I said Disneyland. Disneyland has just announced
that they’re going to have an Inferno park opening up in the summer of
2015. The park will be the layout of Florence and Venice, Italy. As well as
Dante’s map of hell, the theme park will have rides that are based on the book.
There will also be a maze through Dante’s map of hell.
