"Books! The best weapons in the world!"

As the Doctor said, "Books. People never really stop loving books. Fifty-first century. By now you've got holovids, direct-to-brain downloads, fiction mist. But you need the smell. The smell of books."

While we don't have direct-to-brain downloads (yet), we still love books!

A photographer named Reinier Gerritsen photographed people on the NYC Subway reading--you guessed it--books! Real, paper-filled, non-digital books! So even though we're an increasingly technology-obsessed culture, at least books aren't going out of style any time soon.

Check out Reinier's whole project. Photos are listed by the author's last name. 

And to the people reading YA books, you're not alone...
