The Importance of books

So I am getting really frustrated with this generation. It is my generation and I want to slap the stupid out of them. The world is starting to lose its head. Books are just about as important as school and almost all of today's youth have lost their respect, and understanding of books. Every time I hear someone say "No I think I will just wait for the movie to come out." I want to smack them so hard thier mom feels it. What is wrong with the world that we are starting to lose our respect for books. Just because they are not electric or some form of technology does not mean a book does not have its worth. Almost from the beginning of man there have been books and for a good reason. They are full of knowledge, hope, passion, and escape. Every time I can't get something out of my head or just need to get away for a awhile I pick up a book. The smell of the marred pages, the feel of the novel's bent spine, and the story it's self is just irreplaceable. I love everything about them and cannot imagine life without that book on my nightstand or the book jammed in my purse. The bible, word of god, is a book. That tells you just how amazing and important they are. Why anyone would not want to read I don't understand. It really helps the way you look at life, the way you speak, and the way people perceive you. Everyone talks about finding the gateway to another world or a passage to a magical land when really, you don't need to go trekking through an ancient jungle, or an Egyptian tomb, you just have to pick up a good novel. A book is an escape. People turn to drugs and booze and who knows what else to just escape form life when all they need is the good comfort of a book. So if you are reading this, you might as well be reading a book. It is almost the same thing. Remember the worth of a book. Share it with the ones you love if you really love them. Alright that is all for tonight. Peace out peeps.
