STILL WAITING for "2666" by Roberto Bolaño
I wrote about this in November, 2008.
I'm still waiting to read this novel. Publishers: Get off your collective butts and make this book available ALREADY! It's now won a prestigious award. I want to read this important novel now, NOT in 2010! Stay tuned.... Don |

Why don't you buy the paper book, Don, if you want to read it so much? Owning an eBook reader does not prevent one from reading paper books .

Personally I now prefer reading from my Ebook Reader. I just find it more comfortable to hold.
In general, if I have a book that isn't available in digital format, I have created my own. Most recently I bought a couple of Jeff Noon books (both of which I had previously owned and then thrown away during a clean out my wife made me have). So far I have only gotten round to scanning one of them in, but I now have it in digital format |

Yes, I now plan to buy the paperback (3 volume edition) when I go to the U.S. sometime next week. It's just that I kept hoping and hoping..... Don |
