Embracing the timeless allure of books 16 Apr 2021 / 10:32 H.
DESPITE the onslaught from electronic medium, paperbacks and hard covers are still raison d’etre for a number of dedicated readers.
For them, nothing beats holding a tome in hand and turning the pages using one’s fingers. A library with rows of shelves all stacked with bound volumes is heaven for some.
In conjunction with World Book Day on April 23,
theSun spoke to several book lovers to find out what keeps them turning the pages.
Among them are Karuna Garan, Dr Swagata Sinha Roy and Stephenie Daniel. Garan and Sinha Roy are co-organisers of the Paperback Book Club (PBC) that now boasts 1,300 members nationwide.
