This is fine..............as long as your book reader is 'readable'. Say, for instance, you lost it, or broke it.
Now you have NO books in the house to read. 
I'm just taking out insurance here. No matter what, I will have something to read.
And, since I have always (most always) bought used books, I am no contributing to any environmental concerns.  |
I just like the smell of new paper... The first ebook device that can emulate that will be in my possession before you can say "buy it"...
Reading this thread isn't good for me... Now I want to start reading instead of working...
Maybe I should make a reading list with books to read...
Right now, it's the entire Dune series (by father and son), and I really want to finish that Hobb series too (I've read the Assassin's part). But I also want to read the May series (The Many Coloured Land and beyond), and there are some Feist books waiting in my Fictionwise bookshelf... And don't forget that last book of the Time Odyssey series by Arthur C Clark and Stephen Baxter that is also still waiting... And I finally found a new book by Stephen R Lawhead that I hadn't read and that one is also still waiting...
I don't have time to work, I must read!
