Today, my friend and fellow author and book reviewer, Dora Levy Mossanen, reminded me about one of the things that I have always loved about books — the aroma of print, paper and binding, a scent that I have associated with bookstores and libraries since early childhood. On a broadcast of "The Politics of Culture" on KCRW, she spoke articulately and movingly about the experience of reading books, both in print and on the Kindle ebook reader. And she affirmed that she values and misses the sensual experience of the book.
