A Shape of the Book ~ 8/31 Reading

The author had a detail description about the history of book such as how it was created (by clay or paper) and how it affected others (like improvement on the lectern and the desk for readers to read comfortably) After reading, I appreciate the invention of paper. What a lovable lightweight convenient cheap material! We were no longer using scroll or a codex. I also appreciate the production of book, what it carried inside (the authors' messages, the knowledge and wisdom) is lot more than the actual pages it carried. The book really changes the world and we learn from it. But sometimes, since you can find different books with different subjects in everywhere now, I carry more about a books' cover and style than a book's context. Basically, I judge a book by its shape. Like the second reading "The Book of Sand," how incredible the book it is; the book is literally infinite and there is no first or last page. It will only keep the reader to read forever.
