To criticize such a young audience, and any one regardless of their age or occupation, for artistically sharing their passion with the world is petty and self-absorbed. That’s so much better than all the unhealthy and harmful options that are so readily available to them. Bookstagram is filled with teenagers who are choosing to connect with books in a new creative manner. Taking photos of books is not a crime so let us not persecute each other for being artistic. You’ve probably gotten much better at listening comprehension than the rest of us.
If you only listen to audiobooks it’s not less than reading from a book. It’s a different form of storytelling, perhaps closer to the initial way humans began receiving stories, but it’s storytelling nonetheless. I almost forgot: Listening to audiobooks is also reading.
How dare you put a nib to paper? How dare you write your thoughts and feelings on the margins of the book that you bought with your own money? What kind of a monster wants other bookworms to know their reactions about a passage or scene? That’s another thing we like schooling people about. Kindles are actually extremely convenient, just like paperbacks are when it comes to underlining and highlighting text. If you buy a kindle, it doesn’t mean you’re turning your back on being a “true bookworm”. If you read an ebook, you’re not going to embarrass your bookish forefathers and foremothers. Everything can be a conspiracy theory if you’re mad enough. Publishers want you to buy more books and that’s maybe why we’re so aggressively told that print is dying. Ebooks are not some new advent that are murdering book sales all over the world. (To be honest, I don’t like the idea of putting things into other things, I wonder what books feel about this? I use bookmarks when I feel like it, but generally I don’t.)Įbooks are as much a reading material as paperbacks. It’s an object like any other and you insert it into your book. There is nothing wrong or superior about using a bookmark. Bookmarks are not angels – have you ever experienced a paper cut from an innocent receipt? There is nothing wrong with folding the corner of a page if that’s your instinct to remember where you stopped reading. The fact is, the way you behave reflects on the entire community and that’s why we need to have this discussion.ĭogearing is not evil. We are dogear-shamers, bookstore-haters, library purists and intellectual elitists. We spare characters but vilify anyone who is a little different, we shame them (as a certain Vulture article recently demonstrated). But we’re not characters in books and we, bookworms, are flawed people. I’ve tried to glorify the image of bookworms in my head and see them as inclusive people who don’t judge or who, when they do judge, understand the motivation behind what someone does – very much like we’d analyze a character in a book. That’s a lie, though.īookstagram is far from perfect. It’s that perfect online community where people don’t argue or fight. To our partners HTMLStream who permitted us to use their Javascript libraries.To my friends and family, I’ve always tried to paint the picture of Bookstagram as some paradise corner of the internet where people are amiable and accepting of everyone.
