the book lover

i LOVE books
the fragile pages
the stiff spine that
(too often)
bre
       aks
             rather than b
                                      e
                                         n
                                      d
                                     s
the smooth cool covers
the delicious aroma of newsprint
the whisper of turning pages
even
the solid, hardy THUNK!
     of a heavy hardback
slamming shut
