What Are You Reading 2

[Tonyblack]

I was at a car boot sale recently and saw a stack of Video Discs - do you remember the ones that were square and about the size of an LP cover?

It made me think of Kindles for some reason . . .

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Drop it in the bath and see what happens :twisted:

Same with a paperback, dearie!

 

[pip]

and how much to replace the paperback 8)

 

[WannabeAngua]

Since I don't normally order much from Amazon I'll go for Play.
I have some unread Baldacci books to keep me happy until Snuff arrives

 

[pip]

I don't think a book would be very good reading after dropping it in the bath either though Pip

Yes but are your samosas electrocuted by the paperback

 

[Bouncy Castle]

and how much to replace the paperback 8)

Comes under household insurance.

Then again, I use a shower and the times I have a bath (at mum's) I don't read in it!

Kindle is powered by a battery, so your samosas would be fine, old sausage!!

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

 

[PyscoFalcon]

I've just read I shall wear midnight.
Now I'm pondering to either read one of the Dragons of Pern books by Todd or Brendon Sandersons novel - well part 1. Hmmm I bought the lot anyway

 

[Penfold]

Hellooo and welcome PsycoFalcon!

 

[PyscoFalcon]

Thank you.

Ooo the new wheel of time book should be out in paperback now too.
*another to add to list*

 

[jaeger]

Is that book (series) #13 ? I gave up out of frustration at A Crown of Swords book #7.

 

[PyscoFalcon]

Yes book 13 - The Towers of Midnight

 

[jaeger]

Yes book 13 - The Towers of Midnight

Had it in my hand when picking up my copy of Snuff.
I thought Stephen Donaldson was (with the thomas covernant cronicals) draging it out.
Jeeess ! Robert Jordan is milking it ! Pulling teeth comes to mind

 

[Penfold]

I thought Robert Jordan had passed away a few years back.

 

[jaeger]

I thought Robert Jordan had passed away a few years back.

I don't know . . . wouldn't argue.

But "The Wheel of Time" series was (if it's not still him) started by the fella.
Unless you have read or know the series . . . it's one book leads on to the other. So you can't join in somewhere mid on, you have to be in from the begining to know what is going on.
You find yerself getting all set up (book by book) for a big finale and a step forward, and then . . . it's a Basil Brush moment ~ tune in next issue when . . . . . .

Thats ok if some sort of progress is made. But next issue (book), new problems, new issues, even old issues you thought resolved. D'oh !
It's always three steps forwards, one back To me that started to get like you are extracting the yellow water. You just want me to buy more books, see where this is going.
Star Wars, Star Trek . . . . . even 'arry bloody potter worked that way, but had a resolution.

Sorry RJ . . . not the Wheel of Time. . . . . Not in this readers opinion.

There is a thread elsewhere on the forum of impossible books to film. This one wins, not only hands down, but your whole damned body down !

Yes, in 2007.
