Never mind. I should have read the first post. Zelda distracted me.

I started to write these stories as a way to share my anecdotes. A large part of the episodes is based on true (frustrating) experiences. And writing is cheaper then therapy.

seems like a good plan to me.

I will subscribe to the new book upload feed although I fear I will start collecting even more e-books to read. So far I have enjoyed collecting books via Feedbooks amongst others.

I will leave on holiday for three weeks on Monday and I am bringing with me on holiday:
- the complete Artemis Fowl series
- Anathem - Neal Stephenson (I have read good reviews, but I am not that much into sci-fi, so this will be a first)
- a number of Cory Doctorow books
- Legacy of Ashes - Tim Weiner

So a mixed bag there, but I like to have choice and not having to carry that extra suitcase full of books -)

- Dennie
oh, i know, isn't it glorious having so many books in such a tiny package ? even without thinking of holidays i never get over that delight.

i should warn you that the "new books" feed will be dangerous to your "to read" list. i knows whereof i speaks. then again, this whole forum is like crack for readerly types, so... you're done for, basically. "resistance is futile", and all that. ironically, we come here because we love to read, and it ends up eating terribly into our reading time. such a sweet addiction though...
