The Dictionary

I am a paper person. I love books. The real kind, made of paper pages and not plastic screens. I like to turn the actual page and not just rub my finger across a screen. I like to take books out from the library and not download them from thin air. When I need to spell a word correctly, I still use my 1980 Webster's Dictionary with the faded yellow pages. Many words that are common now are not even listed in the book, but the ones I need to clarify are always there. The pages smell like old print and the scent is unmistakable. It brings back fond memories of growing up.Today's generation will not have that experience.
