CH: Books I Have Loved To Pieces

It was the first book I owned, and I loved it to pieces – literally. Eventually, the spine cracked, the front cover separated, and almost every page was dog-eared. When I graduated to more sophisticated literature, my mother wrapped the book in tissue and set it aside. Nineteen years ago, when my first child arrived, she returned that tattered best-loved treasure to me. My family has always been sentimental about books. So, as a bibliophile, I should have been overjoyed when Amazon.com released a wireless reading device called Kindle. The original version can hold more than 1,500 books but weighs less than a paperback novel. In addition to bestsellers, you can download magazines and newspapers (including The Spokesman-Review) within seconds. What’s not to like?/ Cindy Hval , SR Voices. More here .
