Exploring the relationship between readers and books, Emma Smith delves into the physicality of books as objects that influence our lives beyond their written content. She reflects on the nostalgia and companionship they provide while highlighting how they can disrupt and transform our experiences. Drawing on Stephen King's notion of books as "uniquely portable magic," the narrative invites readers to appreciate both the words and the tangible presence of books in shaping our thoughts and memories.
