Eagerly waiting for the plot to transpire.

Stories of the camouflaged intentions of heroes,
And a villain's essence before he turned foe.

Stories of the underlying morals of the pompous Lords,
And of thieves gloating over the days rewards.

Stories of bittersweet deaths of mortal lovers,
And the process it takes for a heart to recover.

Stories of courage and grit emerging from the faint-hearted,
And of boys becoming men though journeys of territories uncharted.

The next corner framed by my anticipating finger,
Which reminds my eyes not to linger.

I love this! Ebooks just can't compare to the feel of a real book, the smell of its pages, the feel of its binding. A truly wonderful write.

Really like this,not just the great way in which it's been written but also the subject, books have so much going for them, too many to list here, but one of the best things is to be able to pass it on to a friend when you've finished.

A great point to make and you put it in poetic form. Nicely done. I'm not getting one either. I can, however, see the benefit of having them in certain venues but when it comes to just wanting to read a book...by yourself...alone at home or something to that effect, then nothing beats a good ol' book. :)

Thanks,

Tim
