All My Friends Are Dead

Have you guys seen this really funny, nicely drawn, yet heartbreaking book entitled All My Friends Are Dead? (Maybe you're appalled because you already know it. I'm not late to the game! I just wanted to express my love for it in writing!)

If you haven't, do yourself a favor and go to a bookstore, or look at a sneak peak below:


I'd highly recommend buying it online.

I love bookstores

An article about one of my favorite bookstores in NYC.

I love bookstores. I love the smell inside of a used bookstore, finding crevices between shelves to hide and read a little and, most importantly, the ability to walk around aimlessly and browse the shelves, finding something new to read.

Certainly with e-books, you can maybe be presented with hundreds of titles for you to choose from, but can you feel the same affinity for a book title the way you do with the way a book has presented itself in the bookstore? Think: the texture of the cover, the artwork, flipping to a random page and reading it. This kind of random book search is also so awesome when you're in a used book store where it's almost like a grab-bag of books to choose from.

I've heard the news that ever since the e-reader there are more people willing to read than ever before. That's great. But, what's so appealing about reading a book on an e-reader that people who distance themselves from print books would rather read on a screen?

Do yourself a favor, and read a book!
