Before my Nook, I would state that I could not live without books. Now I just say that I cannot live without my Nook. In my mind, it's the same thing. I always have reading material (i.e., books) handy. Otherwise, life would royally suck. And considering the summer, I've had, books (on my Nook) have been a much-needed escape.

So I think maybe that's what we're referring to. Life without reading, would be a life not worth living. It's just now, I have all of my books handy in one little "box."
