Some books are just so good that people need to know about them and read them. The kind of book that you stay up all night to read, and then you immediately go out and buy another book from that author because you just can't get enough. You know, the kind that makes you want to grab strangers on the street and emphatically say to them, "You must read this book!"
As a public service, and to prevent you from grabbing strangers on the street, this is now the opening post of a discussion thread designed to provide a place to share your good fortune when you've read an e-book that we all should know about. Just add your comment to join the discussion. Whether it's a free book or expensive. Fiction or non-fiction. Serious or fun. Even science fiction. (Actually, that's probably the favorite genre of gadget fans!)
Or, if you recently had the
displeasure of reading a book that you don't recommend, feel free to play the critic here also. If you're a book reader, you probably know what I mean ab out reading a book you don't like. Common sense would say that you should put it down if you don't like the beginning. But we book readers are not always the most logical of people. Sometimes it's hard to put a book down even when you don't like it. I suppose we always have hope it will suddenly become good, and no matter how uninteresting, we just have to find out what happens to those imaginary characters that we don't even care about!
Be sure to tell us something about what kind of book it is, and why you liked it so much and what device you read it on. All the more if you used one of those new-fangled e-ink readers. Even simple instructions for acquiring and converting, if appropriate. Plus, if you like, a link to an online store page from a site like Amazon, Fictionwise, or eReader is fine also (but set up just to generate sales partner revenues), and will allow us quick access to a review.
Important note: No ads from authors and booksellers please! They will probably be moderated anyway. This is a casual thread intended for the fun and pleasure of all of us ordinary readers.
Many thanks to yvanleterrible for the suggestion.
