Although I buy more and more e-books these days, we still buy paper books as well.

Even if I can read the same book in the library, I may also buy a paper book.

Why?

The reason is simple.

"To draw a pile of underlines in the book, to write characters that cannot be deciphered by anyone other than me, and to submerge the book in the bath"

I recognize that the right to the full extent of abuse for this book, "if it's a 3,000-yen book, I buy it for yen3,000".

I think one of the features of the book is "sharing," but I don't care about that.

My respect for the book is not for tangible objects, but only for the knowledge contained in that book.

In particular, in my case, "understanding" is not enough, but the task of "understanding and then telling others in your own words" is needed. Hence, normal book reading is not enough for me at all.

To get "a new concept coming out of the book", in order to get this, it is not enough to handle a normal book.

Of course, I do not mean to impose on you, how to handle this book.

In fact, I even think it's better to stop handling such books.

Aside from that.

Recently, I also purchased a book stand to facilitate reading in the bath.

In the bath, while drinking non-alcoholic beer and eating kimchi, I am reading a book on this bookstand.

It's like "petit paradise" -- a cheap paradise.

However, I am required to take a bath last in the family (my senior daughter complained about the smell of kimchi filling the bath).
