FANFICTION MEME → 1.The bookstore lovers - Shinki-Monk

“Jaejoong is a very kept person who has a hard time making friends, mostly because he doesn’t share the same interests that most people of his age. He owns a bookstore in the busy city of Seoul, which was left to him as heritage from his grandfather. It’s a really cozy place and Jaejoong loves to spend the entire day there. Then, he met Jung Yunho…”

Why Old Books Smell Good

“Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin. When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us.

Every 30 seconds a book is published in the world. The average publication prints 5000 copies every minute. 10,000 books are sent to print.

The average reader can read about 240 words per minute. A 300 page book normally takes 9 hours to read, non stop. If you read while you walk, you can read a book in about 43 kilometres. If you read and walk, watch out for traffic.

Love Dr. Seuss? Love to read? Then, the New York Public Library was just the place for you! Oustide the library stood a 26-ft tall by 40-ft wide display that spelled out the word “Read.” The installation was made up of 25,000 Dr. Seuss books and was created for the program Read Across America. David Stark designed and built the massive display in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. via [Paper Plane] and [BizBash]
