Even though I feel like a little part of me dies inside every time I see a book mutilated like this, I secretly do appreciate the fact that maybe, as a book's dying wish, it would've liked to have been viewed as a piece of art rather than as a piece of literature. And then I think, aren't written books a piece of art in it of itself?
I'm a recent college graduate looking to find a foothold in the job market and balance in my life. I love writing and I find that there is so much beauty in words. I enjoy what I call "canvas between the margins" where in the small space between text and the end of the page, there's room to write your thoughts, doodle or a word to look up later.

A Book as A Piece of Art
Even though I feel like a little part of me dies inside every time I see a book mutilated like this, I secretly do appreciate the fact that maybe, as a book's dying wish, it would've liked to have been viewed as a piece of art rather than as a piece of literature. And then I think, aren't written books a piece of art in it of itself?

My thinking...It's better that it is getting turned into something new and beautiful all over again than being burned, trashed, or discarded and left to rot.
