When on holiday do you read novels ? Or short stories as I tend to do , have got a fabulous "Collete" , never read before .
I find with "Sippin and Dippin" not a lot of time to GET into a story .
Novels - mainly light reading like detective stories. When I first got the Kindle I took it on holiday to France loaded with nine books, all of which I read in the course of ten days and it didn't interfere with other activities. You can hold a Kindle in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

Nonu - what me? 
Anno , You would never peek . I stand humbled .
Anyways I am off now , Mr N. has just arrived in with another defeat for Norwich .

I am chuffed to bits , I was down town this afternoon and found a book called
Midnight in the Garden of good and Evil .
I have been searching for this for about 6 months , and the the really good bit it only cost me £1.75 from a charity shop . Result or what ?

One of the best things about leaving school was to know that I need never do hockey organised sport again unless I wanted to and of leaving university was that I need never read Balzac/Proust/Goethe/Mann/and all of the rest of them again in the original - unless I wanted to

Ariadne, I haven't read Balzac since the sixth form and that was note even the day before yesterday. Gracesmum, ditto for Virgil... Homer, etc etc, at least not in the original and I certainly wouldn't be able to do that now. Oh and Beowulf...
Oh I like a bit of Beowulf or the Nibelungen at bedtime, don't you? had trouble getting it on my Kindle though
