The Sweet Reluctance of Pages

Here’s a wonderful quote from the great Kurt Vonnegut.

In a commencement speech, he told students,

Don’t give up on books. They feel so good.

Their friendly heft, the sweet reluctance of their pages

When you turn them with your sensitive fingertips.

And Grant, I just love that description of the sweet reluctance

Of their pages. I know exactly what he’s talking about. Right. It’s if there’s something magnetic

Holding the pages together, particularly if you were the first to have read it. And even better,

If you have to cut the pages in an old style book, it’s all tactile, isn’t it?

Very, very sensuous. 877-929-9673.
