Just finished 'Sharpe's Fury'. Looking at something by Clive Cussler now. One of the next ones in the Dirk Pitt series. I seem to swap between these two Authors a lot. I might have to hunt up...

On the third (I think) book of the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwall. Going to read that then change pace and see what else might grab me on the trusty Kindle.

And now I'm laughing at a comic strip I read several hours ago! :)

I understand the sentiment, but as an outsider to that part of the world I don't get the joke...:)

Just started 'Storm Front' by Jim Butcher...Started reading these because of a post here of course. Quite good, though I'm only a few chapters in, I expect it won't get any worse. ;)

'Something Wicked This Way Comes' by Ray Bradbury. It matches the way my mind is working at the moment. Lots of discriptives, not much sense, off kilter, but interesting enough to keep me going. :)
...

Yes they are, and I noticed that right off, but I'm in the mood for something of this style at the moment. I've got quite a few other books to go on with when I need a break. :)

Started off on Clive Cusslers' series with 'Dirk Pitt' as the main character. I read 'Pacific Vortex' quite quickly, and started on the next one, 'The Mediterranean Caper' yesterday. Thoroughly...

Both for me mate. I prefer the physical books to the Kindle, but the Kindle sure is a convenient bit of tech. And I have plenty of books on the device. I switch from one to the other, depending on...

See this is why I love this place. :)[/QUOTE]



Just watch out for the Heathens. They're a bloody godless lot! ;)

As a (the?) resident Pagan I have no problem with that at all Andrew. :)

Got that on the Kindle too. A great read.



I'm not Christian, but I enjoyed a documentary on that subject just a few days ago. These people who have studied the archaeology related to the story...

Well since I last posted here, a few of the books I've read are, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, The Grail Quest series by Bernard Cornwell and I've just completed The Winter King, and...

'The English Gypsies and Their Language' by Charles Godfrey Leland. I got this one from the Gutenburg Project as a free ebook. Plenty of stuff there to keep me reading for the rest of my days I...

Make no difference here. We're still in the caves, for the most part, when it comes to that sort of tech.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The Kindle has been growing on me for it's portability and massive storage of books.


Mick

What happened to it? Why don't you still have it?

I currently have two books on the go. On the e-Reader I have 'Catriona' by R.L Stevenson, and in the real world, I have 'The Bourne Dominion' by Eric Van Lustbader. 'Catriona' is the follow on from...

I love Louis L'Amour's 'Sackett' series. I have those five books and three random titles by him on the bookshelf behind me. I had more, but as one tends to do, I lent them out over time and slowly...

I went and bought a Kindle e-reader for myself the other day. I'm of two minds about them as I previously mentioned in an earlier post. I do see the benefits of them, but I also see the problems and...

I would add that there is an environmental impact on the manufacture of electronic goods. Electronics are not made to last, and when they die, are hardly ever fixed or recycled, but end as Plastic...

Yes, and it is regrettable that it has.




I'm with you there mate 100%.

I just think of all the books I've gotten rid of over the years and wish I still had many of them in my possession. I refuse to get rid of books unless they are too far gone. I'm still trying to sort...

Why don't you shift all the stuff out of that middle room, slap up a heap of shelving; Or better still, build some bookcases and screw them into the wall and start your own library room, John? I wish...

The role play game. Never heard of it. Don't really care too much though. I'll look it up sometime if I want to know. Heard of D&D though.
