Haha, sorry. I should've been more thoughtful, as once I noticed certain things, I then seemed to notice them on almost every page, which detracted from my enjoyment a touch!  your Grand Barry!!   |

The Vinyl Detective series by Andrew Cartmel are quite enjoyable, a slightly different concept about a detective who finds rare records.

Next is Neither Wolf Nor Dog by Kent Nerburn.
A book hasn't affected me so much in a very long time. The story of conversations between a Native American elder and a white author as they travel around, trying to understand their commonalities and differences, struggling to make sense of the past and how to move to a better future. Next up, The Sun Does Shine - How I Found Life And Freedom On Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton. |

If any of you watched It's A Sin last night, it was pretty good and is a mashup of Queer As Folk meets Philadelphia. Having thought about it though, the series seems similar to the book Blossom At The Mention of My Name. Which is about a gay Geordie fella, who doesn't realise he is until he and his best mate stumble into a gay bar (oh yeah, we've all heard that one).
Worth a read but many on here probably wouldn't own up to giving it a read *google's Blossom At the Mention of...*

Anyone else do Jolabokaflod on Christmas Eve? I got Crooked House by Agatha Christie. Promising so far. I’ve read a couple of hers before and enjoyed them, so was probably a safe bet.

Forgot about this thread. Bought a kindle at the end of August and have read over 20 novels since. Pretty much finished the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell. Also read Dracula, the Time Machine, The Hobbit and a bunch of other stuff. The kindle is the greatest gadget I have ever got. Absolutely love it.

Agree, I was a bit of a holdout and still read the occasional physical book but I read so much more electronically. Bit of a shame that it's all Amazon owned but so it goes. |

Kindle is great.
Never read much before I got mine several Xmas ago. Pretty much always got a book on the go now
sometimes it's a free book, sometimes it's mainstream, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's shit.
I usually read before sleep. sometimes I get the Kindle on the nose - sleep coming a bit early.

Haven’t yet got a kindle of my own. Do borrow my fiancé’s sometimes when there is something on unlimited I would otherwise buy, but almost all my reading is printed books still. Usually non-fiction as well, not hugely into novels as a general rule.

I have a Kindle and enjoy a digital read but I still find the feel and smell of an analogue book very satisfying.
There is something about physically turning a page.

Just finished A Christmas Carol on Kindle. I bought Dicken's complete works for next to nothing some time ago, and read one now and again.
