Nope, it's still icky for me. Again, as I said upthread. It's irrational. I don't want to call it a trigger, since that would've disrespectful for people with triggers, but it's very damn close to a phobia and I can't tell you how 'glad' I am that everyone in the thread decided to put me right and tell me about all those destroyed books daily.

Rationally, I understand everything you guys pro-book art are saying. But deep down? The only thing I can see is that in my country, my own president is functionally illiterate, people don't read more than 3 books a year average -which means a lot of people don't read, period- and that getting certain books is impossible down here. So yeah, even if it's a very old and battered mass produced book by an author I despise (Seriously, I can't stand Ann Rice's prose)... it makes me sick to my stomach.
