A world without books would be like ice cream without a spoon

`
I've been thinking about Fahrenheit 451, in which the job of the fireman is to burn books.

What would the world be like without books?

Sure, we have eBooks, audiobooks and other formats, but technology can fail.  Besides, there is nothing quite like the feel of a good book in your hands.

A world without books would be like opera without the music, a marriage without love.

I definitely would miss my books.

    Although ice cream can still be enjoyed without a spoon. There's cones, waffles, cookies.

    and your right nothing beats the feel of an actual bound and well appointed book!

    Loving the Blog-A-Licious Tour!

    The ice cream with no spoon is such a great comparison - without books there'd be a whole world of information and no way for you to take it in!

    John, that is one beautiful comparison.

    It would be like flowers without color. Or popcorn without butter. I'd simply die, especially without the butter. =)
