    Reading books is a different sensation. I like television, but it doesn't provide the same mental stimulation as books do, and I love the internet, obviously, but I wouldn't read literature off of it, because of eyestrain from the screen. I'm also nostalgic about books. I love the weight and feel of them. They are physical entities.

    Everyone has their own preference in how they receive information or experience entertainment.

    When you read a book you can paint a picture in your mind. (=

    Because TV today is complete garbage. And the internet just talks about how great TV is.

    Books have a different feeling, it uses your imagination, which is always fun.

    I find a book better then whats on tv and internet does have its advantages, but it doesn't have whats in books. Books open a new world to your imagination; you become apart of it in a way. I also thought that the books were better than the movie. Because there are things the movies leave out, and that can be disappointing.

    Read a book dear xjimmyloudx

    It'd be a more real and vivential answer to your question. You will surely find a very illuminating answer within yourself when you read it (any kind of book, one that you like).

    A piece of advice: do not look for a feeling when you read it...just feel whatever arises into your being... all that understanding, imagining, creating, decoding, ...just let it be.

    Huge hug,

    I can really get lost in a good book. It's a good escape.

    reading books gets your imagination working ...makes you think, unlike T.V. and the internet which just numbs the brain and shut's down the function of thinking

    although you can learn alot from tv and the internet i guess there is something about the old traditional book that people still love. and it's less complicated it don't crash or get viruses or lose connection...its just simple i guess :)

    We can bring a book outside and not get a glare off the screen.

    When you are reading a book, you can really get into the story. It is intimate and cozy. It is always waiting for you, to pick up and finish that story you really want to read.
