Your mother has one. Your father has one. But why is it important to read a novel constructed of flemsy paper and and weak spine? Don’t do what people tell you to do.

Take them away, please.

books, binding twisting turning. your favorite book falling apart, like your paperback heart. <3 pages fall as you recite them all.

books. words. flowing words that make beautiful works. soft scents from the wind. beautiful books. the air rushing past. you flip through the pages. flipping, flipping, flipping. the scent of new paper. new paper. wonderful, new paper with printed words. new books and old books. books.

i read a really good paperbook novel the other day. i thought it was interesting, but i wasn’t sure what to do when i finished it. all of my paperback’s get ruined the second i set them down. dog-ears, bent spine,…is it impossible to keep a paperback novel in tact? i sure don’t know how to do it.

Paperback Writer. It was one of the songs that my Dad used to play in the car. I remember being young, hearing that same mix tape every time I got in the car. Mix 36. A random assortment of my fathers favorite Beatles songs. They never get old.

i was reading a paperback book, when i got sucked into one of the pages. as i looked around, there were just words, commas, and periods. i thought it be easier to get out of a paperback than a hardcover. it wasnt. i tried and tried but nothing.

there used to be paperback novels, words on pages that meant something to people. It used to be about your imagination being sculpted and developed, finally coming to fruition at the end of the story. Now its all visual, and not nearly half as redeeming. Damn if it ain’t entertaining though. These days people don’t seem to have any regard for art, whether it’s literature, or painting. Movies seem to be the only form that reaches people, that and music, but not music is so diluted it’s hard to filter out the good and the bad to find those pearls that stay with you forever.

i ran into a library because a guy was chasing me. finally i was safe. i took a paper back book to throw at him if he ever decided to come inside and look for me. it looked like a pretty interesting book too. what a waste.

the paperback novel was slowly caressed by Donny when he saw it in the shop downtown. He decided he had to buy it because it was about planes. He loved every minute of its glorious pages. it was written by his grandpa.

The paperback felt so out of place on the bookshelf, surrounded by hard-covers with sharp edges and thick, ragged pages. They smelled moldy and dirty, and the paperback flipped its pages in the wind to alleviate the stench.

paperback books have an authenticity that hardback books will never possess. whenever i go to the public library, i like going to the history section (full of very old books that are generally rarely used), pick a random book out of the shelf, open it & begin reading anything, enjoying the dusty, delicious smell of old library things.

Paperback. There’s an odd bird flying above me. It’s not alive, necessarily, but it seems to be in its motion and its gentle swoop… It’s made of paper. Just moments ago I folded it up and released it into the air. It isn’t alive, but it’s beautiful. It’s paper head, wings and back…

when i think about paper back, i think about the smell of a new book. There is something about that smell that just hits me in the right place. The smell of new knowledge and unturned pages.

dirty magazines, cast aside paperbacks, a few cups of pennies and paper clips and the ring I made from a spoon. All I need is the space in between them.

the novel was worn and thin and the pages were as thin as the parchment of a bible. the words were in ink, and they were smudged all over, handwritten and cursive. it was old, it was beautiful, but it was in a lost language.

from the way the paperback was on my knee, man, i had a dreadful flight…

I just bought the sequel to wicked in a pocketbook paperback version yesterday. All of the best books I’ve read were in paperback. White Oleander. Fight Club. The Time Traveler’s Wife. And then some.
I am in love with paperbacks in the way that some people are in love with cats.
Sometimes I just want to lie down with one and cuddle all day long.

The paperback had seen a lifetime of page-turns. It’s paper was yellowed, it’s spin was wrinkled like an old lady’s forehead. But yet the story was kickin’ just as before.

a lateral wreath of book placed on a lateral bookshelf is how he writes to me. i’ve heard stories told of a future made with computer books without paper without a backbone.

I bought a pile of paperbacks, grabbing them because I recognized the name of the author, or the title, or just because I liked the cover, and then I got lost in them, devoured them, became enchanted like by a magic spell. What I didn’t know then is that I was taking the first step towards a life I could never have imagined.

I bought it for a quarter at a church’s rummage sale during an Indian Summer in Connecticut. This worn out, almost tattered book grabbed me and I read it in one sitting, only to find the last page missing. To this day, although I have read the end of the story numerous times in other books, I cannot remember it, as if it were only contained in the old paperback from a church’s rummage sale.

Paperback is the most common book form found in bookstores. Unlike hardcover, paperback issues are easier to carry and cost relatively less, therefore making them the most commonly used book form on top of merely being the most commonly found book form.

I see this and immediately think of the beatles; and i am reminded of how powerful a man john lennon was, and how inspiring he is. I face a hard part of my life now, and I look to him for help in spirit. Thank you John

paperbacks are so fragile. They bend under pressure, you can rip the covers off and steal the book illegally, you can do all sorts of things to them.
but they’re also the book that shows it the most when they have been loved. The creases in the spine are like crows feet on a person. Evidence that they have smiled with gusto.
