Books are elusive, influencial, withdrawn, and personal. They have a richness that few other objects can come close to. What are books to me? Books are unapproachable. When you pick up a book, you never really know what you're getting into. The blank exterior indicates that it has nothing to offer. The cover is just that though. It tries to hide the greatness of what's inside. Books are more than just the ink and paper they are printed on. They represent an idea, a concept, a story, and an emotion. Books can suck you in and tell you an amazing story. They can educate you and open your mind to different ideas. They can influence you and change your beliefs. Books are always there for you. They are very personal and what you get from them changes over time. What you get out of them may not be understood and can be confusing, but almost always change you in some way.
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." ~Charles W. Eliot
