Loving Both (25/30)

People enjoy dichotomous arguments, like cats vs dogs, Kindle vs. paper books

What I don't get is, why do you have to choose? Why do you have to be a cat person or a dog person, can't you be a both person? Why do you have to read books ONLY electronically or ONLY on paper?


I love each of these guys just as much as the other. I actually feel like I appreciate them each more for their contrast to each other and uniqueness. Bentley is so big and thick furred, curious in a "I'm gonna thrust my head in your shopping bag" kind of way, and easily excitable. Puck is dainty and quiet and curious in an observing way, and likes to dart around. But they're both super goofy (one just likes to think she isn't), and they both like to be around their people. And neither of them want to be petted 100% of the time.

In conclusion, I love both of them and I love being loved by both of them.




These are the two books I'm currently reading. My sister in law loaned me her Kindle until Christmas and it's going to be tough to give it back! I find it easy on the eyes, and I like that it's easy to read in bed, because I don't have to hold anything open (although I wish I could press the "next page" buttons with blinking or something), I like that it's portable and would be great for a vacation or plane trip. But how I could I ever abandon paper books completely? Especially since I own a ton that I haven't read yet...

A book is a book is a book, and I'll enjoy it however it comes to me.


Are there any arguments people have that you just don't get because you too love both?

Great insight on the Kindle vs. Book thing. I completely agree. I like having both too - especially on a trip. The only thing I've been wishing is that they would incorporate a front plate with LEDs on it so you don't have to use a booklight at night.
