More From Josh Radnor

Some day, as soon as a book is printed it will be simultaneously put into digital form. that will be a wonderful research tool, but it will never substitute for holding the book. i feel certain that at least within my lifetime, everyone will still be going to the bookstore and buying printed books. thank god i'll die before i have to worry about whether the printed book itself will disappear. that's something i don't want to live to see.
Book Worry Thank God
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

It wasn't really touching to be young; it was touching not to be young, because you had less of life left. touching to be thirty; more touching to be forty; tragic to be fifty; and heartbreaking to be sixty. as to seventy, as to eighty, one would feel as one did during the last dance of a ball, tired but fey in the paling dawn, desperately making the most of each bar of music before one went home to bed.

In a world of intrusive technology, we must engage in a kind of struggle if we wish to sustain moments of solitude. e-reading opens the door to distraction. it invites connectivity and clicking and purchasing. the closed network of a printed book, on the other hand, seems to offer greater serenity. it harks back to a pre-jacked-in age. cloth, paper, ink: for these read helmet, cuirass, shield. they afford a degree of protection and make possible a less intermediated, less fractured experience. they guard our aloneness. that is why i love them, and why i read printed books still.
Love Book Reading
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?
