Herr Holz Paul Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Hello. I have just joined this forum. I find myself reading more and more these days and I am beginning to realise what an incredible adventure is out there waiting to be discovered in the written word. I suppose the main reason I joined this forum has selfish undertones! My local library often either do not have the works I am interested in, or there is some difficulty in locating the book. Then there is the expense of buying the books you want. Often a book comes in at around £10 here in the UK, and these costs mount up very quickly. I am not really interested in lining my walls with expensive decorations while simultaneously reducing my quota of living space! Now the idea of sharing or swapping books is a good one. The postage costs are much more bearable. Right now I find myself having moved on from historical fiction to more factual works - I am currently reading `Ghost Map` by Steven Johnson. So that`s my introduction - see you again soon. Quote
vodkafan Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Welcome! An E reader is an excellent solution to owning a lot of books without ever taking up any living space. Are you resistant to going down that route? Quote
