:lol: Well, e-readers are nice, too - and extremely useful in many ways.
I hope you enjoy it - it's got a rather old-fashioned feel to it, but I like it - I love how much the author and everyone in it loves books.
It seems to me that books give us a glimpse into a portion of people's lives, and that they're living and breathing and being before and after too. I try to give that quality to any original characters I bring into my fanfic. That they're real; you're just getting a tiny snippet of their lives as they interact with canon characters.
Yes. I've no idea where the author stands on that sort of thing, but Inkheart really does express why we play with other people's characters (indeed, in the story, the author is the one who's the most clueless about the reality they've acquired through being read, and he repeatedly causes trouble as a result, especially in the sequels) and, indeed, you could say that Meggie saves the day by writing fanfic.
Some people don't like it - but then, that's true about anything. (When it comes to modern children's books, I've usually been locked in a room arguing about how wonderful/awful they are with fellow children's librarians - and generally we disagreed a lot... I used to love that.) But I do. The bibliophilia! :lol:
