The Joy of Paperbacks
I've not long got back from a wonderful break in the Far North of Scotland and I caught up with a lot of reading on my Kindle during this.
However, I also treated myself to three new paperbacks just before my break and I'm really enjoying those too, having deliberated "saved" them to start reading during my break. Why choose over an ebook or a "real" book? Be greedy, have both!
Am currently reading Peter Ackroyd's Biography of London (fascinating way of showing a history of a city), Neil Gaiman's View from the Cheap Seats (a collection of his non-fiction articles), and Ben Macintyres' Double Cross. Good sized tomes all of them and a lovely read. Hope to review at a later date.
I like a good mix of things to read and am developing a real taste for well written non-fiction. Books can take you into other worlds. Sometimes the world they show you is this one but from an angle you've not considered before. For me, this is an acid test of a good read. A good read will enlighten you.
