From an
interview in today's NYT Book Review:
I read both paper and e-books, but please don’t tell my publisher this.
E-books are great for instant gratification — you see a review somewhere
of a book that interests you, and you can start reading it five minutes
later. At least I still know it is wrong. But when all is said
and done, holding a printed book in my hands can be a sacred experience
— the weight of the paper, the windy sound of pages turning, like a
breeze. To me, a printed book is like a cathedral or a library or a
beach — holy space.
