I love to read.
My sense of sight is stimulated and delighted with the printed word.
My sense of touch is gratified with the turning of pages, the weight of the book in my hands, the softness of the paper and the stiffness of the covers.
My sense of smell responds to the paper, the ink, and sometimes, leather.
If it is a particularly spiritual book, like the Bible, or a Classic like Ben Hur or Moby Dick, then my spiritual self becomes involved.
If it is an adventure story or a mystery, my mind is stimulated as I imagine myself problem-solving and seeking solutions.
History and Travel take me to other times and places and fuels my imagination.
All of the above observations may be considered the racist ramblings of my White priveledge, but so be it.
I love Vinyl Lp Records for many of the same reasons.
