    Play Dead by Harlan Coben. Paperback

    My wife and daughter just got a Kindle and something else. Been teelling me how wonderful they are. Told them I will NEVER own one. I like reading a BOOK. They can take my paperbacks away when they pry them from my cold dead fingers.

    A! MEN! I love used book stores, the smell of old musty two inch thick monstrous books, finding inscriptions on the inside cover, or underlined sentences and you wonder if they did that because it was meaningful to them, or were they reading it as a school assignment. Or the first "crack" of the binding when you open a new one. I never keep the dust jackets, the covers are always so much better, not gaudy, flashy colors or over-corrected pictures of the authors fake smiling.

    Paper all the way. And now I need to find something to read that isn't about children. It's been entirely too long.

    Equiano- History Paper, I liked last quarters much better: Homers The Odyssey :flowerforyou:

    Oh and for myself, the original Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeares' Macbeth, why? Never had the chance before and I want to read important books in history, Sherlock Holmes so far is pretty darn good. :D

    I just finished reading DaVinci Code - Truth or Fiction. It was very interesting book and the things that are true about Christianity are rather amazing and I don't think people truly understand anything about their beliefs after reading that book.

    Next up, I can't recall the title but it's sitting on my desk at home... something like, "Misquoting Jesus".

    Just my own personal search for religious truth. :)

    My husband got me a Nook Tablet for xmas. I really wanted it for watching Netflix/Hulu on the treadmill (phone screen is entirely too small). Since I read a ton, I thought maybe I'd like it for books too. Not so much. I have books on it and I use it to read sometimes, but I still would much rather read an actual book.

    I am starting to think I was a hipster with the whole Hunger Games thing!! I read all 3 last spring...had them done in 5 days. I may or may not have ignored my children entirely for those 5 days...

    I'm currently close to finishing 'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace. It's an absolute whopper of a book (over 1000 pages long), but I'd recommend it to everyone. It's become my favourite book of all time. I'm also reading 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler for my book club, which I'm enjoying and a book on English language for a course I'm starting in September, which I'm not enjoying quite as much.

    Oh and no Kindle. Good old fashioned paperback every time for me!
