bibliophilia

tamelyn feinstein

I have had a lifelong love affair with books. And I love them not only for their abstract qualities of prose and imagery and ideas, but also for the very physical being of them: The way they look lined up on a shelf. The heft and weight of one in my hand. The aesthetics of a beautiful font rendered in black ink upon a white page. The smell of leather, and paper, and dust.

Books have taken me places I could have only imagined. They've opened my mind and broken my heart. They've been there for me when no one else was around. They've held a mirror up to my laughter and my pain, and let me know that I'm not alone.
