Paper Towns by John Green

Quick Summary:

 

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life–dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge–he follows.

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues–and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew. -- www.johngreenbooks.com

Post 2: What is a book?

What is a book?

 A book is a realm into another universe, a new dementia to explore and conquer. The physicality of the book arouses our senses, excited our psyche about another experience we are about to immerse ourselves into. With a book, pages become time machines into new places we haven’t yet discovered. Places of hardships or creatures of fantasy and nothing can quite beat the unique smell of new freshly printed pages.  

Today’s technological world threatens the traditional use of physical books. Human have used books since the dawn of time from hieroglyphics that told stories to handwritten or printed copies of them. Our twenty—first century technologies threaten this tradition human practice of kindles and online readers.  Most authors and older habitual readers would tend to fight for the physical book while younger generations will become more adaptable to the megapixels of words on a elcetronic device. But are these ways of reading really different? Are books just the old horse and buggy way of doing things now?

Tom Piazza Said, “The computer is neutral in that it gives you access to limitless amounts of information… The information has no smell, no weight, no texture. Nothing that seriously impinges on your reality. People think it represents some kind of democratizing of information  because everything is the same size… If everything is the same size, there’s no perspective… Everything becomes two-dimensional, flat.”

So the important question is, what will life be without physical books? Will the electricity we are so dependent on now last for the generations to come? If we are sent back into the dark ages, will there be books for children and adults to read? Will the names of important authors and stories be lost forever? Will physical books become scarce and more expensive and valued? Would a black market for books arise?


Will the book survive? I guess that is up for you own interpretation. However I believe as long as there are intellectuals and individuals alike who enjoy a good story telling read about the triumph of the human journey or informational pages of the depths of our universe there will be books.

 

Post 1: Why I read

Why I read?

Reading is the art of analyzing odd shaped symbols we call letters we were taught at an early age. We comprehend them to make words, words that create meaning on pages. We read to understand, entertain and receive information without physically coming in contact with another human being. We can douse ourselves into another universe in our head, discover new ideas and understand other concepts beyond our own experiences.

My favorite part of reading is that it can let you step into someone else’s skin. It lets you become someone else, perhaps someone similar to you or the complete opposite. Reading allows you to empathize with types of individuals you would never thought you could. It allows you to see perspective and experiences of other individuals and gain compassion and view more open mindedly towards similar individuals in your everyday life.

Reading can also be a great escape. Leaving your boring life behind to become a powerful supernatural species or an outlaw on the run you can experience action and danger beneath the tip of your nose. Reading allows you to become the character, taking you along the maiden voyage or the struggles of an apocalypse, anywhere, anyplace, anyone, anytime your heart desires.
