I really want to read a paper book

Want to buy brand-new paper books, want to read paper books, the feeling of electronic screens and paper is completely different. I really want to quietly relax and read paper books, not for any purpose.

I really want to read books :sob:

Paper books are good, e‑books are bad :triumph:
I recall a study showing that paper reading makes it easier to concentrate than electronic reading, so I stick to buying paper math books (the electronic ones, after reading a bit, I go wander around Jiao Da Gate) :melting_face:

Buying books is too expensive, and the library books are so new that I’m reluctant to use them. I’ve been paperless for three years now. The advantage is that I can comfortably lie in bed and read with one hand, which is better for the spine than paper books; I can also doodle beside it, and I don’t have to move books when I move. The downside is that it may indirectly promote scattered attention; sometimes I envy others’ well‑worn private collections, and I have fewer chances to notice the cover, publisher, and author. But weighing the pros and cons, technology changing life still suits me :grin:

Off to the library, endless treasures.

Opposite the coffee shop on the first floor is the new library (formerly

Isn’t there a library?

I love the smell of paper and ink.
The first thing I do when I get a new book is bring my nose close and flip through it quickly.

I will never be a riddler againActually this post is more about lamenting that I have no time or mood to read physical books :sob:

And oddly, when I read a book a second time I really want to buy a new one; if a library‑borrowed book is enjoyable I also want to purchase a new copy to bring home.

Lying on the bed and reading with one hand is probably bad for your eyesight!

I use digital math books because the notes that come with paper books are likely to get lost by me :melting_face:

Third-floor literature library.
New books are opposite the café; literature is in the middle, on the right-hand side of the sign’s bookshelf.
