My choice this year is a crime novel but I would have thought there was something there for all tastes.<br /><br />A Kindle is much cheaper than an iPad, but an iPad can do so much more. The earlier versions have come down in price now and you can still update the software. When I'm away I read my books on it, do emails, load photos, browse the internet. The only thing it's not good at is writing on Blogger but that's because Blogger's app is poor.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-9586176951077747332011-11-04T10:18:27.034+00:002011-11-04T10:18:27.034+00:00I've just looked through the list. I have read...I've just looked through the list. I have read, or at times skimmed through the classics, and frankly reading the blurb, there's not one of the others that appeals to me. I borrowed the Bernard Cornwell from the library some time ago, read about half and gave up, much preferred his Sharpe.<br />I like light reading before going to bed, nothing too serious, preferably with a happy ending. I don't want preaching, moralising, "true life", vampires or improbable science fiction which defies the laws of physics. If I want something serious, I prefer non-fiction, biographies, history or travel.<br />I think many modern authors have "lost the plot", they write what is considered to be "good literature" by the critics and the like, but this is not necessarily what readers want. I wonder how many of the books that are bought when they win the Booker prize or similar awards are actually read right through?<br />I'm thinking of getting a Kindle, I've been looking at what books are available and I'd like to go back and see if I still like some of the books that I enjoyed in my younger days.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-30073348292552887422011-11-03T17:54:33.288+00:002011-11-03T17:54:33.288+00:00Ah, understand now Sue. ;)Ah, understand now Sue. ;)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-72488934800008678602011-11-03T12:55:08.782+00:002011-11-03T12:55:08.782+00:00I know but it has to be done.
