Books smell. Musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is ... it has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last then the getting of knowledge should be tangible, it should be smelly.

The poor book, I sort of threw it from 3-4 feet away, my aim was true and I crushed the bugger good. Then vacumned it. It was a big bug. Like 2 inches maybe.
