response blog post #6 "Never Do That To a Book"

'Carnal readers' are people to love the books, but not for the appearance. They love them for their content and the experiences that they bring. They do no care if the book has become unbound, or the pages have been stained or bent. They don't care about the condition in anyway, as long as they have read it. But they do cherish the books greatly for their words and the things they learn from them.

'Courtly readers' are ones who love their books so much, that they will go to great lengths to preserve them. One example in the writing was that you are not supposed to put a book face down to preserve your place. This might harm the books. Some Courtly readers never even open books they buy for fear that it might harm the binding or bend the pages.
