so many books, so little time...

I have noticed recently, that the brick and mortar independent bookstore is making a comeback in the USA.
Books are very dear to my heart, always shall be.
With the technologies available to us today, i still believe the people prefer to have the physical book in their hands. One cannot adequately express how it feels to curl up on the couch in your pajamas or sweat pants, with a good book.
Like all things impermanent, books seem to have an infinite life to them. Our very survival as part of the human condition depends upon the telling of stories.
