I have to be honest. When I first saw this, I thought it was some generic message thing that had to do with the quote alone. However, it was brought to my attention that this is from a Borders store. I have to say, this is the saddest thing I have seen all day, maybe even all week.
I’d like to personally thank the creators of the Kindle and Nook for this atrocity.
…I have no words.
:’c
And it makes me sad that one day there won’t be any hard copy books, just e-books, and probably our great-grandchildren -maybe even our grandchildren- will never know the feel of a book in their hands, the sound of a turning page, or the beautiful scent of a brand new book.
I know that as long as there are people like us around, who love and cherish books, that books will never die. I will continue buying books as long as I live, and I will give them to my children and teach them how to love them, and hopefully they’ll pass it along, until maybe someday in a bookless future, they bring back the lost art of these beautiful books that have brought us all so much.
But nostalgia aside, let’s not forget the fact that e-books are cheaper and have, in fact, allowed people greater access to literature than before. Popular books (from any time period) are available for only a fraction of the price of a hard copy edition, and for some people it’s much more convenient to carry around a nook or kindle and read for leisure. Personal preferences aside there’s no point in romanticizing what, in the end, is bound paper. I mean, I don’t have an ebook reader, and I prefer having a copy in my hands with pages I can turn, but to talk about a future where ebooks are more popular as though such a thing would be the end of all things literary is kinda nonsensical. The only value in books (that aren’t special editions anyway) are in what we give them upon reading them, so who’s to say people won’t feel similar emotional connections when reading the same stories on a tablet?

In June of 1972, a woman appeared in Cedar Senai hospitalin nothing but a white, blood-covered gown. Now this, in itself, should not be too surprising as people often have accidents nearby and come to the nearest hospital for medical attention, but there were two things that caused people who saw her to vomit and flee in terror.
The first being that she wasn’t exactly human. she resembled something close to a mannequin, but had the dexterity and fluidity of a normal human being. Her face, was as flawless as a mannequins, devoid of eyebrows and smeared in make-up.
From the moment she stepped through the entrance to when she was taken to a hospital room and cleaned up before being prepped for sedation, she was completely calm, expressionless and motionless. The doctors thought it best to restrain her until the authorities could arrive and she did not protest. They were unable to get any kind of response from her and most staff members felt too uncomfortable to look directly at her for more than a few seconds.
But the second the staff tried to sedate her, she fought back with extreme force. Two members of staff had to hold her down as her body rose up on the bed with that same, blank expression.
She turned her emotionless eyes towards the male doctor and did something unusual. She smiled.
As she did, the female doctor screamed and let go out of shock. In the woman’s mouth were not human teeth, but long, sharp spikes. Too long for her mouth to close fully without causing any damage…
The male doctor stared back at her for a moment before asking “What in the hell are you?”
She cracked her neck down to her shoulder to observe him, still smiling.
There was a long pause, the security had been alerted and could be heard coming down the hallway.
She stood up and leaned over him, her face coming dangerously close to his as the life faded from his eyes.
She leaned closer and whispered in his ear.
“I…am….God….”
He went into shock and she quickly disappeared.
The female doctor named her “The Expressionless”.
There was never a sighting of her again.
And I thought I was gonna sleep tonight.
i already reblogged this i thought i was safe
Dude I want to meet her
Hell yes! This is back on my dash.

“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”
