“Save Trees, Buy Ebooks (The Sonnet)

Oh, I know so well, the euphoria of bibliosmia!
So, buy only the priceless books in printed form.
If explorers of knowledge don't act responsible,
All glory of bibliophilia is fraudulent and wrong.

Literature is just the same, no matter the format,
You gotta prioritize between ebooks and print form.
In pursuit of knowledge ebooks are environment-friendly,
Therefore, keep your print book buying to bare minimum.

We cherish music totally electronically these days,
We no longer clutter the shelves with CDs or vinyls.
Why not do the same with literature, especially when,
Ebooks are to print books what EVs are to gas vehicles.

Printed books will always be special, so buy one book
by your favorite author in print, rest in digital form.
Save trees, buy ebooks, that's the new book lovers' norm.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşk Mafia: Armor of The World

“Taking the wrong fork, I veered onto a curious road where the ground grew increasingly higher, and although my heart warned me to turn back, I didn't, for the curiosities of the mind are much stronger than imagined. During the course of my journey, I noticed trees becoming unwieldy, taking shapes my eyes had not seen. What was this peculiarity that battered my mind with such wonderment? There were no signs, nor directories, not even a guide, but my curiosities did not wind, for too eager was I to turn. So, like a child lost to the night, I walked this lonesome patch of gray until coming across a curve where the forest belt spread like wildfire, and the wild weeds and grasses produced a certain beauty not found in other parts.”
― Marilyn Velez, Tundra: The Darkest Hour

“⭐⭐⭐⭐½ "An evocative, gorgeously written epic."
"Neil Sammons delivers a vivid tale of exile, romance, and redemption set against the brutal beauty of 1830s southern Africa. The prose is lyrical without being indulgent, the historical backdrop impeccably researched, and the characters complex and human. A few pacing issues aside, this is a powerful debut." – The Historical Novel Review”

“Bay leaves, spices, his watchful, quiet, they drew my attention even more than the cheerful woman holding up the latest Sarah J. Maas on the screen.”

“Save your soul, acquire print books (Sonnet 2434)

I once wrote, save trees, buy ebooks;
since then a couple of things have come to light.
You can lose access to the ebooks you purchase,
anytime the platform decides to remove them.

However, the most heinous case of all is that,
it's only a matter of time that platforms
quietly start altering existing literature,
like they are already doing to streaming.

Nature will endure the loss of a few trees
in the sacred cause of mind expansion,
but no amount of energy conservation
can make up for doctored consciousness.

The minor dent on nature for literature
is nothing compared to the species level
damage that looms, once existing literature
starts getting doctored by crooks.
Ebooks, audiobooks, the choice is yours, but
always acquire print copies of your cherished books.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop
