Also, people who had their parents read to them from story books as a child have a fondness for the media. A book reminds them of happy childhood times when their mother or father dedicated a lot of love and attention to them. These are some of the highest quality times that a parent can give to their child. Most children first learned to read from books and so enjoyed their first reading experiences, that they memorized the stories and adventures of their favorite characters. As adults, they subliminally enjoy the smell of ink and the tactile sensation of turning pages, as they reenact these experiences.

Turning a page gives a sense of accomplishment as well as anticipation of the next event in a best-seller; "page-turner" describes a very exciting book that is read at a fast pace. Also you can tell how far you have read in a book visually from a placeholder such as a bookmark. Many bookmarks are souvenirs of mementos of trips and have sayings or illustrations on them. Using such a bookmark enhances the pleasure of reading as the reader recalls the time and place that they bought it. Further, there are personalized "Ex Libris" stickers. You can put these in favorite books to announce your pride in retaining them as part of a permanent library. Going into someone's library, or browsing their bookshelf shows off the owner's level of education, their openness of mind, the broadness of their literary horizons and interest in certain subjects or famous authors. A person's library is their identity; the libraries of many famous people are still tourist attractions.
