Miriam’s comments from the What is Life without Books group.

Hardbacks are great for books of lasting value, and great to give as gifts. But paperbacks do very well for books you'll only read once - as do ebooks.

Just finished 'Lonesome Dove'. Took a couple of days to recover from that wild west cattle drive from Texas to Montana with Larry McMurtry. But now off my horse, and now progressing along the 'Lincoln Highway' with Amor Towles.
