  1. The book was torn and ripped up. It’s floppy spine tore, and it was bent in all different directions. The pages were falling out, but ironically my favorite page was still intact.

  8. Much better than hardback – lighter. cheaper. It’s a perfect way to get lost in a book, bend the covers back…

  10. The Horse was just running. all it wanted to do was run. it was a paperback horse which is an undiscvered breed of horse from the planet Zoong. The horse was running. the planet is flat so it fell off.

  13. book that are mass marketed in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience. such books tend to be well perceived in their first published hardcover form. they tend to be by popular authors on popular subjects.

  14. Because of the paperback book, we have such inviting and affordable titles as “Captain of the High Seas of Love,” “Donna’s Escapades in Wine Country,” and “Sultry Christmas.” These titles and others like them can be found in local grocery stores and on your grandmother’s night stand.

  15. Paperback books are the types of books that follow the hardcover release of a book. Yes, the word book was used several times in the last sentence. Paperback books are excellent for leaving in vacation houses, packing in a small bag along with suntan lotion and other items that might damage paper. The beauty of paperback books is that they cost much less and read better when bent, curved, and dog eared.

    I feel a like a little kid and also a little nostalgic when I read a paperback.

  17. Paperback…someday my book will be released in paperback. That will be a joyous day. It will mean that the hardback version was popular enough to demand a paperback version for the masses.

  18. paperback is my back of choice i guess. i dont like hardbacks. they always have that horrible slip cover on them, which i always end up losing. paperbacks are simple and to the point, no weird covering.

  19. I like paperback books. They are less of a burden on the planet, can be tossed into my purse and if I lose it then it doesn’t seem like such a loss.

  20. I held the worn paperback in my hand. The weight felt good, familiar. I flipped through the pages, trying to appear casual.

  21. It sat there on the cofee table just staring back at him all day with its worn edges and faded cover. The title challenged him, “Everything you wanted to know about manitees, but were afraid to ask.” It mocked him. It heaped him. He picked it up.
    It’s on, he thought.

  22. great, trashy summer reads. on the beach reading about sordid love affairs. perfect.

  23. I’m an author. A narrative drug dealer. You come to me to get your mind off. You pay me, I give you the pictures, the words you put in your veins, the stories you end up believing are true. Admit it. You’re a fucking addict.

  24. a book, possibly a novel, which may be used for knowledge, education, or pleasure. It can tell a story or relay information. It is the opposite of a hardback book, which is typically more expensive and comes out first in bookstores.

  27. The soiled pages felt familiar beneath his fingers as he picked up the paperback and thumbed through the book his grandfather had left him.

  28. I like to read in the bathtub a lot of people do so I know thats not what makes me a freak.Back to it though, it reminds me of all the paperback books that get fat and soggy because I always drop them in the water.

  29. The good old literary prodigy. I smiled as I engraved my fingers into the grooves and the filthy marks that people had left in blood and saliva. A pleasant though, that. But it was late, so the only words I bothered to make out were ‘I wouldn’t read this book if I were you’.

  30. the smell of a paperback is always preferable to her than a hardback. They seem more textured, nicer to the scences. she reads them with a fever usually rese3rved for describing a forest fire and they fall, consumed just as quickly.

  31. paperback…uhhh. I have read a paperback. I own paperbacks. I move paperbacks here and there and back there and then here. I need to figure out what to do with all of my paperbacks. At least they are lighter than hardbacks. ;)

    Paula
  32. better than hardback to carry in your bag, lighter.

  33. novels are fun to carry around and read. they remind me of children’s books and the joy that would come to me when reading a great book. i need a job because i want to be a paperback writer, the beatles once sang. why would only a back be made of paper, the front is too!

  34. Paperback novels are less than a hardcover even though the words are the same. Somehow it makes the reading more worthwhile words that will be passed on shared with the masses. Paperbacks are not elitist.

  35. backed with paper, usually in book form – pulp fiction – quentin tarrantino – from dusk till dawn – vampires – blood lust –

  36. I like paperback books. They’re cheaper and easier to hold. easier to read. Plus, if you ruin it, who cares?! it’s just a paperback. but hardcover..they are so nice and crisp and beautiful. No wonder they cost so much more.

  37. writer. The Beatles. A song where only the first line is stuck in my head. How does it go on? I can’t remember another word. rly.

  38. Paperback rider…I like paperbacks, I dog ear them, all the thoughts I want to remember and return to, a poetic phrase, something that has deep meaning. Paperbacks are comfortable, the way an old chair is, worn in and loving, ready to receive you.

  39. the paperback lay abandoned on the back porch. the pages flipping back in the wind. on the line were white sheets blowing . I coulndt hear from the roar of wind. where was she? I swear she just came out here and where in hell did this storm come from. maybe she went out to the carrden to get something. I call to her… nothing. now the wind begins to swirl about my head and dust stings my eyes. the paperback flies off the deck into the yard just as the rain blowing sidwways starts pelting me.

  40. The paperback novel sitting on my desk wasn’t nearly as interesting as I’d hoped. It always made me sad, when I buy a book on a whim and end up disliking it, or worse, just plain being bored with it. They say not to judge a book by its cover…and so I’ll stick with hardcovers.
