“(in response to the question: what do you think of e-books and Amazon鈥檚 Kindle?)

Those aren鈥檛 books. You can鈥檛 hold a computer in your hand like you can a book. A computer does not smell. There are two perfumes to a book. If a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better. It smells like ancient Egypt. A book has got to smell. You have to hold it in your hands and pray to it. You put it in your pocket and you walk with it. And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn鈥檛 do that for you. I鈥檓 sorry.”
― Ray Bradbury

Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
