MrsRam Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 No I haven't, but i've bought my daughter and myself a kindle for christmas (I won't use mine till she opens hers) and I'm hoping to read some books that I'd never think of reading and broaden my horizons a bit.

MrsRam Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was totally against the kindle - until I read a book on my sisters kindle whilst on holiday - and it was brilliant. You don't need two hands ( 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> ) and it's nothing like reading from a computer - it's back lit or summat. I read Gok Wan in two days......

'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> maybe i should try it 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> but I just love the paper in a book and I like to store my books in my lovely bookcase, that is when i don't lose them. What is it like to read on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just like reading a book yr, honestly. You can get a new book downloaded in seconds, and there are hundreds on amazon you can download for free. My house is littered with books that I can't part with and to be honest, they take up loads of space. I worried that I wouldn't get on with kindle because I like the feel of a book, but with a kindle, you can put it anywhere, you don't have to hold the book open and you just have to touch an arrow to turn the page over.

I might give it a try but i would also be afraid of losing it. Thanks for the honest feedback mrs ram, my mates keep banging on about me buying a kindle, i might just ask for one for crimbo.

NothernRam Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 unlike northern ram i love some russian classics, in particular crime and punishment. Do you speak russian YR? If not I think you know nothing about Dostoevsky 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> I don't rate translations at all. [size=4]Russian language is much richer and multilateral than English tbh.[/size] [size=4]Still think you should read books in the original. It's not easy though.[/size] [size=4]Sometimes i can't understand what Boycie says leave alone Shakespeare or Hemingway [/size] [size=4] 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Does anyone read any David Gemmill? I don't read much but I've read almost all of his books and loved each one. Also Conn Iguldon, his two historical series about rome and ghengis khan are fantastic. The rome series is one of my favourite series of books ever.

Mary Hindge Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Read the "Dome" by Stephen King thought it was very very good apart from the end has to be the biggest let down ever!!!! really ***** ending!!! Because I was enjoying it so much I was given "Salems Lot" took a while to get into but now enjoying it quite alot, just hope the ending isnt as bad as "Dome" if it is I will never read nother Stephen King book again!!!!

trekkie_ram Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have dyspraxia, so find reading very hard and frustrating, I find reading autobiographies easier because I can relate and imagine it easier. The wife got me savage, am reading Richard Hammond at the mo, and I've read Gordon Ramsey, Chris Moyles. The plan to finish Hammond's then Savage, then the two Clough's then Jim Smiths. Can anyone recommend any? Doesn't have to be footballers. Off the top of my head, sporting ones I've read: Steve Claridge Harry Redknapp Ian Holloway Jeff Stelling Robbie Savage David Ellerary Tony Cascarino Clive Woodward And the stand out book by far was Full Time - Tony Cascarino. Buy it ;-) I've got Paul McGrath's which started really good, but then he got him mum to write a chapter, and it totally killed my interest in it. Currently reading the second book in the Dexter series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
