Be Rocked!
Warning: I am about to rock you. No exaggeration! This warning is for good reason, for the topic I am about to bring up, analyze and dismantle (and hopefully convince you to come on board and agree with for the benefits of future generations) is one so deeply entrenched in the minds of society that the mere mention of it is capable of knocking a grown man from his chair. And here it is: what is the point in hard-back books?
Cumbersome, irritatingly large and far too difficult to hold to be considered worthwhile—not to mention even harder to hold if you are a girl with extremely small hands—the hard-back book needs to cease production if you ask me. I can’t think of one thing about hard-back books which is unique to them and not achieved by the paper-back alternative. OK, perhaps there are two things, if you want to get technical: Number 1) would be the easier readability of hard-back books, with massive characters making even the most almost-blind people able to enjoy a read and Number 2) would be that a lot of hard-back books have a glossy front and back cover, which is aesthetically pleasing. But that’s it. Otherwise they are just a pain. Not only that but they cost much more to produce and you can’t carry them around without looking like an absolute moron.
I’m no expert on hard-back books—I can’t bear to be in the same room with enough of them for long enough to find out—but I am also pretty sure that hard-back books have been a contributing factor with people getting bumped on the head, cats getting flattened and dogs getting smacked in the snout. So not only are they impractical but they are deadly too! Do you need any more reasons to stop buying them?!
I need all of your help, I am making an effort at figuring out something for my girlfriend for her Birthday. When I was on the phone with her the other week she said that she would like a new set of running clothes. Does anyone know of a reliable place to get them? And while we are on the topic, does anyone know what the hell they should look like?
