Can relate to this. Was trying to read some Sherlock homes stories that I found for free on iBooks or iLibrary or whatever the iApp is for reading things. Got tired of it and found a collected works version at a Barnes and Noble in Oklahoma. Worth every penny!Sleet wrote:The screen just doesn't feel like a real book, to me.
I used to feel the same way, but when exam period rolled about, I found that taking one ebook with you on your travels is waay more convenient than taking three textbooks. Also, I thought it was nice how you could easily highlight and add/erase notes to your digital book. Yes, one could argue that you could do the same with a normal book, but then, you haven't seen my scribbled out textbooks.Goforit wrote:Can relate to this.

I used to love my kindle. My workplace then banned them and I didn't make time for reading from it while I was home, so it died. It just displays the 'please recharge' screen regardless of how long it's plugged into a PC or wall outlet.Goforit wrote:Can relate to this.

And now I'm actually working on that. Jeez this book is hard to read. But it's interesting! *giggles*Sleet wrote:I've been meaning to find and read Ulysses sometime.
I am currently making my way through that series for the first time ever. I am liking it so far and just at book 2.Penwrite wrote:Currently making my way through the Harry Potter series for the first time in forever. Having a blast, forgot how good these books are.
I mean, things like violence, sex and vulgar language are not "mature." When video games (to my knowledge the only medium to use the label) are described as "Mature," that means "only mature audiences should partake," not "this is mature."Crimson wrote:I was erring on the side of caution.

I have one of those books by Dian Duane. I forgot the title, and can't seem to find it though.Vegas wrote:I'm re reading Spider-Man: Wanted Dead or Alive one of Marvel's prose novels from around the 80's-90's. I kinda like how it references The Venom Factor trilogy (a Spider-Man trilogy that was written by Diane Duane). I'm seeing a lot of problems with the writing in it's sentence structure, but, it gets better as it goes. Other than that, I'm also reading Maus which is both interesting and depressing.
I have all three, and am thinking about rereading them since they're my favorites of the Spidey novels, though Lizard Sanction is easily the weakest of the trilogy.Drake wrote:I have one of those books by Dian Duane.
