I am more and more intrigued by non fiction which never used to appeal to me. Just read Michael Frayn's book about his father - just fabulous.<br />I think I might succumb to a kindle, not as an instead but as an extra. Do love the idea of all those books just a breath away.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-43966708182206299432011-03-07T10:46:01.438-08:002011-03-07T10:46:01.438-08:00Oh enjoy all that reading Chris, eek I only found ...Oh enjoy all that reading Chris, eek I only found out what a kindle was the other day...soooo behind the times, I must pay more attention..Posiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844732200803572416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-86273384713638781942011-03-07T04:15:07.450-08:002011-03-07T04:15:07.450-08:00I love to see what's by people's bedsides...I love to see what's by people's bedsides (reading matter that is!).

And other piles in various areas round the apartment.<br /><br />I am a Kate Atkinson fan. Bought her first Museum book on a London trip years ago, and met her on a subsequent book tour she made to the States. I like that she's expolored lots of styles in her writing.<br /><br />I've still got a thick Fiona MacCarthy Wm Morris bio half-read near my bed. And various magazines, Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate, and a Katie Fforde novel, too. Eclectic?<br /><br />No space for any Kindles or Nooks around here.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-39523592026985393272011-03-05T15:12:47.821-08:002011-03-05T15:12:47.821-08:00Am going to read that Kate Atkinson book soon, too...Am going to read that Kate Atkinson book soon, too.

V V envious of your Kindle. Keep eyeing them on Amazon and trying to work out ways I could possibly justify one, but mundane thoughts such as lingering credit card bills and the rising price of oil boringly edge them over into the pending tray in my head. (Am also occasionally wishing Kate Atkinson would take my dog, too...) <br /><br />J xxLITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-69880071100152615672011-03-05T08:28:16.565-08:002011-03-05T08:28:16.565-08:00Just read my comment again and it seems terribly n...Just read my comment again and it seems terribly negative and curmudgeonly.

Can't imagine taking a Kindle to bed, or bookmarking it with some old theatre ticket. <br /><br />I'm a member of the BARB audience research panel and they send me book tokens from time to time.
